El sitio de la dualidad

YOU, AZURE BIRD You, azure bird, shining parrot, you walk flying. Oh Highest Arbiter, Life Giver: trembling, You extend Yourself here, filling my house, filling my dwelling, here. With Your piety and grace one can live, oh Author of Life, on earth: trembling, You extend Yourself here, filling my house, filling my dwelling, here.

Nezahualcoyotl

Tú, ave azul...

Tú, ave azul, tú lúcida guacamaya andas volando:
Arbitro Sumo por quien todo vive:
tú te estremeces, tú te explayas aquí 
de mi casa plena, de mi morada plena,
el sitio es aquí.
Con tu piedad y con tu gracia
puede vivirse, oh autor de vida, en la tierra:
tú te estremeces, tú te explayas aquí:
de mi casa plena, de mi morada plena,
el sitio es aquí”.

ANGEL OF FLIGHT AND SLEIGH BELLS

Angel of flight and sleigh bells, do you know paralysis,
that ether house where your arms and legs are cement?
You are as still as a yardstick. You have a doll's kiss.
The brain whirls in a fit. The brain is not evident.
I have gone to that same place without a germ or a stroke.
A little solo act-that lady with the brain that broke.

In this fashion I have become a tree.
I have become a vase you can pick up or dropp at will,
inanimate at last. What unusual luck! My body
passively resisting. Part of the leftovers. Part of the kill.
Angels of flight, you soarer, you flapper, you floater,
you gull that grows out of my back in the drreams I prefer,

stay near. But give me the totem. Give me the shut eye
where I stand in stone shoes as the world's bicycle goes by.

Anne Sexton
