Héctor Rojas Herazo

Piero della Francesca

He polishes a geometrical crystal
and harmonizes the wind and the smile.
Bodies are concentrated in their weight and certainty
in fine chambers where the air
thinks the light in silvery folds.
And in a symmetrical edge, without ardor,
each man is the monarch of himself
within the limit of his own gesture.

Piero della Francesca

Piero della Francesca

Un geométrico vidrio
pule y hermana el viento y la sonrisa.
Los cuerpos se concentran de peso y certidumbre
en finos aposentos donde el aire
piensa la luz en argentados pliegues.
Y en simétrico filo, sin ardores,
cada hombre es el monarca de sí mismo,
en el lindero de su propio gesto.
