Poem
Pedro Arturo Estrada
ALMOST AN EPIPHANY
A moment this side of fear:freshness, the shining of life all around.
Sudden invitation or temptation open in the deep.
Final and instantaneous urgency
to understand as a triumph the immediacy of the body,
the senses, when the irremediable goes on
and any one of the faces marching towards the void
is ours.

CASI UNA EPIFANÍA
CASI UNA EPIFANÍA
Un momento más acá del miedo:la frescura, el brillo de la vida alrededor.
Invitación o tentación repentina abierta en lo hondo.
Urgencia definitiva e instantánea
de entender como un triunfo la inmediatez del cuerpo,
los sentidos, cuando lo irremediable continúa
y cualesquiera de los rostros avanzando al vacío
es el nuestro.
