Poem
Rafael Patiño
MY FEROCIOUS CONTINUITY
When the void of my fugue is voidI will live for three successive centuries
Grazing on as many dreams as there are twinkling stars
At the margin of the evening I hear screams
On a lactescent bed:
Woods afraid of man,
Woods where I was less than an ant,
Silver-flavored mushrooms,
Shortcuts that avoid reason
Doors, air, freedom

Mi Feroz Continuidad
Mi Feroz Continuidad
Cuando esté vacío el vacío de mi fugaViviré tres siglos sucesivos,
Pastaré tantos sueños como estrellas titilan
A la orilla de la tarde escucho gritos
Sobre un lecho de lactescencias:
Son bosques temerosos del hombre,
Bosques donde fui menos que hormiga,
Hongos de sabor plateado,
Atajos que evitan la razón
Puertas, aire, libertad
