Dolores Dorantes
7.-Close us
“7.-Close us. Destroy our mouths. Enter. Torture us in other realities. Take us with your mind and your word. Bring us to our knees. May your gust of birds pass over us. Convert us in a sky cut across by branches. Capture us by the throat as you would with animals. As with animals, fervor.”

7.-Close us
“7.-Sluit ons. Maak onze mond kapot. Kom binnen. Martel ons in andere werkelijkheden. Pak ons met je geest en je woord. Dwing ons op de knieën. Laat jouw salvo van vogels over ons heen komen. Verander ons in hemel die de takken doorboren. Grijp ons bij de strot als dieren. Als dieren, vurigheid.”

“7.-Ciérranos. Destrúyenos la boca. Entra. Tortúranos en otras realidades. Tómanos con la mente y la palabra. Híncanos. Que tu racha de pájaros pase sobre nosotras. Conviértenos en cielo que atraviesan las ramas. Captúranos del cuello como a los animales. Como a los animales, fervor.”
