Antonio Gamoneda

I HAVE TRAVERSED beliefs

I HAVE TRAVERSED beliefs. For a long time,

it snowed without promise.

There were mothers who went crazy at daybreak: I hear their yellow shouts.



It goes on snowing. I believe in disappearance.

I believe in rage.

IK BEN door alle geloof gegaan.

IK BEN door alle geloof gegaan. Lange tijd
 
viel er sneeuw zonder hoop.
 
Er waren moeders die bij dageraad gek werden: ik hoor hun
 
gele kreten.
 
 
Nog sneeuwt het. Ik geloof in de verdwijning.
 
Ik geloof in de woede.

HE ATRAVESADO las creencias. Durante mucho tiempo

nevó sin esperanza.

Había madres que enloquecían al amanecer: oigo sus gritos amarillos.



Aún nieva. Creo en la desaparición.

Creo en la ira.
