Poem
José Manuel Arango
About the boy born
About the boy bornin the whorehouse
And if in the whorehouse a child is born
And if the men
when they finish undressing
to fornicate at night
hear him cry at the back of the house
or of their empty heart

About the boy born
Acerca del niño nacido
en la casa de putas
Y si en la casa de putas nace un niño
Y si los hombres
cuando acaban de desvestirse
para fornicar en la noche
lo oyen llorar al fondo de la casa
o de su corazón vacío
en la casa de putas
Y si en la casa de putas nace un niño
Y si los hombres
cuando acaban de desvestirse
para fornicar en la noche
lo oyen llorar al fondo de la casa
o de su corazón vacío
