hoy latía mi pecho
más fuerte
hoy he mirado
a los ojos
a la gente
hoy crecían las flores
a mi paso

el havre es el remanso, el sosiego, el refugio, la calma, el amparo. el havre perdido es la tortura, el temblor, la intemperie, el grito. yo encontré el havre. y ahora lo he perdido.
Between my teeth foams emptiness
And in my tongue, burns a stiff stillness
Today, you no longer give form to my dreams
Model my words with your hands
Nor weave my identity with your teeth
Today, I have removed you from underneath my nails
From the tangles of my hair
From my body's crooks and cavities
Today, I have said enough. I have buried:
The mediocre, broken, cut words
The nights of blank eyes and startling
The uneasy peace of my bed
Today, something in me has died
But tomorrow will bring forth tender buds
(Each love, a death
Each dawn, a new reality)
