José Zuleta Ortiz

HAND IN HAND

Many years ago
squirrels went
from the Caribbean coast
to the Pacific coast
from branch to branch
without touching the ground.
This was when the trees
were playing hand in hand
at ring a ring o’ roses.

TOMADOS DE LAS MANOS

TOMADOS DE LAS MANOS

Hace años
las ardillas viajaban
de la costa atlántica
a la costa pacífica,
de rama en rama
sin bajar al suelo.
Era cuando los árboles
estaban tomados de las manos
jugando a la ronda de los bosques.
