Gloria Posada

BENEATH THE SKY

Stars
point out the Earth
Elements inhabit us
shape the flesh
substance and heat
of our bodies

Clusters of clouds
travel in the wind
join and part
in the imprecise shape of time
Cycle or end
lying in wait for us

We beneath the sky
do not know exactly
what the weather will be

BAJO EL CIELO

BAJO EL CIELO

Estrellas
signan la Tierra
Elementos nos habitan
forman la carne
sustancia y calor
de nuestro cuerpo

Cúmulos de nubes
viajan en el viento
se unen y separan
en la imprecisa forma del tiempo
Ciclo o final
que nos acecha

No conocemos
bajo el cielo
la exacta intemperie
