Waiting for the darkness.
Waiting for darkness, Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972)
That instant that is not forgotten,
So empty returned by shadows,
So empty rejected by clocks,
That poor instant adopted by my tenderness,
Naked naked in the blood of wings,
No eyes to remember the anguish of yesteryear,
No lips to pick up the juice of violence
lost in the singing of the icy bell towers.
Protect him, blind child of soul,
Put your hair frosted by the fire;
Embrace him small statue of terror.
Point to the convulsed world at your feet,
At your feet where the swallows die
Shivering with fear of the future.
Tell him that the sighs of the sea
Moisten the only words
For which it is worth living.
But that sweaty moment of nothing,
Snuggled up in the cave of destiny
No hands to say never,
No hands to give away butterflies
