“La publicación es algo que siempre me ha producido cierto temor, a pesar de lo mucho que me he esforzado para lograrla. No obstante, es literalmente cierto que con todo lo que he publicado, cuando la cruda hora de la impresión se acerca, siempre he sentido una suerte de angustia y he llegado a rogarle a mi editor que retrase su publicación hasta la siguiente temporada, o peor aún, les he pedido a los directores de algunas revistas que me den uno o dos meses adicionales para trabajar un poco más en mis textos, para corregirles algo, muchas veces sin saber muy bien el qué."⠀
⠀
"Publishing is something that has always caused me some fear, despite how hard I have worked to achieve it. However, it is literally true that with everything I have published, when the harsh hour of printing approaches, I have always felt a kind of anguish and have come to beg my editor to delay publication until the next season, or worse. still, I have asked the editors of some magazines to give me an additional month or two to work a little more on my texts, to correct something, many times without really knowing what."⠀

“Entre tantas incertidumbres, con todo, una cosa es cierta: si dejamos morir lo gratuito, si renunciamos a la fuerza generadora de lo inútil, si escuchamos únicamente el mortífero canto de sirenas que nos impele a perseguir el beneficio, sólo seremos capaces de producir una colectividad enferma y sin memoria que, extraviada, acabará por perder el sentido de sí misma y de la vida. Y en ese momento, cuando la desertificación del espíritu nos haya agostado, será en verdad difícil imaginar que el ignorante homo sapiens pueda desempeñar todavía un papel en la tarea de hacer más humana la humanidad…"⠀
⠀
"Among so many uncertainties, however, one thing is certain: if we let the gratuitous die, if we renounce the generating force of the useless, if we listen only to the deadly siren song that impels us to pursue profit, we will only be able to produce a a sick community with no memory that, lost, will end up losing the sense of itself and of life. And at that moment, when the desertification of the spirit has withered us, it will be really difficult to imagine that the ignorant homo sapiens can still play a role in the task of making humanity more human…"⠀

NO PUEDO NARRAR⠀
⠀
No puedo narrar.⠀
¿Qué pretérito me serviría⠀
si mi madre ya no me teje más?⠀
Desmadrada entonces me detengo⠀
ante un estado de cosas demasiado presente:⠀
ser la descuidada que la cuida⠀
mientras otros la descuidan por mí.⠀
Son personas que me sobran⠀
y la gramática se torna un escándalo⠀
cuando ella que olvidó las palabras⠀
adelanta su bebé furioso⠀
con el fin de decirlo todo⠀
aunque no se entienda nada.⠀
⠀
I CAN’T NARRATE⠀
⠀
I cannot narrate.⠀
What past would serve me⠀
if my mother doesn’t knit me anymore?⠀
Out of control then I stop⠀
in the face of a state of affairs that is too present:⠀
be the careless one who takes care of her⠀
while others neglect it for me.⠀
They are people that I have left over⠀
and the grammar becomes a scandal⠀
when she who forgot the words⠀
overtake your furious baby⠀
in order to say it all⠀
although nothing is understood.⠀

“La ciudad favorita no es la más simpática, que esto les quede claro a todos. Será donde mejor lo pasaron, donde mejor los trataron, donde hubo más gente, más prensa, más ruido / The favorite city is not the friendliest, let this be clear to everyone. It will be where they had the best time, where they were treated best, where there were more people, more press, more noise."⠀

La vida es la última forma de un naufragio.⠀
No se trata de naufragar en una tormenta cualquiera:⠀
hay que hundirse⠀
y volver a naufragar por elección en el fondo.⠀
⠀
Hay que explorar⠀
con un abrazo ya desprendido de su cuerpo⠀
las corrientes sin imágenes del total abandono.⠀
⠀
Hay que buscar el punto hundido del rebote⠀
desde donde la elasticidad ya desnuda de la vida⠀
salte de nuevo al fuego del origen,⠀
pero con la flor sumergida⠀
que sólo puede hallarse en la plenitud del naufragio.⠀
⠀
Hay que naufragar en todos los mares,⠀
hasta no necesitar ya ningún mar⠀
para hundirse del todo.⠀
⠀
Pero no basta cualquier vacío:⠀
sólo sirve el vacío del fondo.⠀
___________________⠀
Life is the ultimate form of a shipwreck.⠀
It is not about being shipwrecked in any storm:⠀
you have to sink⠀
and to be shipwrecked by choice in the background.⠀
⠀
You have to explore⠀
with a hug already detached from her body⠀
the streams without images of total abandonment.⠀
⠀
You have to look for the sunken point of the rebound⠀
from where the already naked elasticity of life⠀
jump back to the fire of origin,⠀
but with the submerged flower⠀
that can only be found in the fullness of the shipwreck.⠀
⠀
It is necessary to shipwreck in all the seas,⠀
until I no longer need any sea⠀
to sink completely.⠀
⠀
But just any emptiness is not enough:⠀
only the emptiness at the bottom works.⠀
⠀

Vos no lo sabés:⠀
hay abedules que de noche⠀
levantan sus raíces,⠀
y no creerías nunca⠀
que de noche los árboles⠀
caminan o se convierten en sueños.⠀
Pensá que en un árbol hay⠀
un violín de amor.⠀
Pensá que un árbol canta y ríe.⠀
Pensá que un árbol está⠀
en un barranco y luego se convierte en vida.⠀
Ya te lo dije: los poetas no se redimen,⠀
se los debe dejar volar entre árboles⠀
como ruiseñores listos para la muerte.⠀
________________⠀
You don’t know:⠀
there are birches that at night⠀
they lift their roots,⠀
and you would never believe⠀
that at night the trees⠀
they walk or become dreams.⠀
Think that in a tree there is⠀
a violin of love.⠀
Think of a tree singing and laughing.⠀
Think that a tree is⠀
into a ravine and then it turns to life.⠀
I already told you: poets do not redeem themselves,⠀
they must be let fly between trees⠀
like nightingales ready for death.⠀

POR UNAS CUANTAS CANCIONES⠀
⠀
Por unas cuantas canciones⠀
en las que hablaba de su misterio,⠀
las mujeres han sido⠀
excepcionalmente amables⠀
con mi vejez.⠀
Hacen un rincón secreto⠀
en sus ajetreadas vidas⠀
y me llevan allí.⠀
Se desnudan⠀
cada una a su manera⠀
y me dicen:⠀
“Mírame, Leonard⠀
mírame por última vez.”⠀
Después se inclinan sobre la cama⠀
y me tapan⠀
como a un niño que tirita⠀
⠀
FOR A FEW SONGS⠀
⠀
For a few songs⠀
in which he spoke of his mystery,⠀
women have been⠀
exceptionally kind⠀
with my old age.⠀
They make a secret corner⠀
in their busy lives⠀
and they take me there.⠀
They undress⠀
each in their own way⠀
and they tell me:⠀
“Look at me, Leonard⠀
look at me one last time. "⠀
Then they lean over the bed⠀
and they cover me⠀
like a child shivering⠀

“A la pregunta siempre embarazosa: ¿qué estás escribiendo ahora?, respondo que escribo sobre flores y que otro día elegiré un tema todavía más nimio, más humilde si cabe. Una taza de café solo. Las aventuras de una flor de cerezo. Pero por ahora tengo ya mucho para ver: nueve tulipanes muriéndose de risa en un jarrón transparente. Miro su estremecimiento bajo las alas del tiempo que pasa. Tienen una manera radiante de estar indefensos y escribo esta frase a su dictado: "Lo que constituye un acontecimiento es lo que está vivo y lo que está vivo es lo que no se protege de su pérdida”.⠀

“To the always embarrassing question: what are you writing now ?, I answer that I write about flowers and that another day I will choose an even more trivial subject, more humble if possible. A cup of black coffee. The adventures of a cherry blossom. But for now I have a lot to see: nine tulips dying of laughter in a transparent vase. I watch her shudder under the wings of time that passes. They have a radiant way of being defenseless and I write this sentence at their dictation: "What constitutes an event is what is alive and what is alive is what is not protected from its loss."⠀
