I was born on a day
when God was sick.
They all know I exist,
that I’m evil, but they do not know
about December of that January.
For I was born on a day
when God was sick.
There is a void
in my metaphysical state
that no one is likely to feel:
a cloister of silence
that spoke like a flowering fire.
I was born on a day
when God was sick.
Brother, listen, listen. . .
That’s fine. Do not let me leave
without taking the Decembers,
without discarding the Januaries.
For I was born on a day
when God was sick.
They all know I exist,
that I chew . . . but they do not know
why, in my verses, the scouring
winds unravel from the Sphinx,
busybody of the Desert,
to screech, off-key,
a casket’s dark displeasure.
They all know. . . but they do not know
that the Light is consumptive
while the Shadow is corpulent.
They do not know how Mystery can synthesize. . .
It is the sad and musical hunchback
denouncing, from a distance,
the passing of noon from the limits to the Limits.
I was born on a day
when God was sick, and
gravely so.
Espergesia
Yo nací un día
que Dios estuvo enfermo.
Todos saben que vivo,
que soy malo; y no saben
del diciembre de ese enero.
Pues yo nací un día
que Dios estuvo enfermo.
Hay un vacío
en mi aire metafísico
que nadie ha de palpar:
el claustro de un silencio
que habló a flor de fuego.
Yo nací un día
que Dios estuvo enfermo.
Hermano, escucha, escucha. . .
Bueno. Y que no me vaya
sin llevar diciembres,
sin dejar eneros.
Pues yo nací un día
que Dios estuvo enfermo.
Todos saben que vivo,
que mastico. . . Y no saben
por qué en mi verso chirrian,
oscuro sinsabor de féretro,
luyidos vientos
desenroscados de la Esfinge
preguntona del Desierto.
Todos saben . . . Y no saben
que la Luz es tísica,
y la Sombra gorda. . .
Y no saben que el Misterio sintetiza. . .
que él es la joroba
musical y triste que a distancia denuncia
el paso meridian de las lindes a las Lindes.
Yo nací un día
que Dios estuvo enfermo,
grave.
