1. I Am This/Esa Soy



I Am This
by Susana Montanares M.

I am a body without a soul,
a hungry corpse of desire,
a caress converted into torture.

I am an autumn leaf,
the trampled cry of nakedness born alive.
I am pain and forgetfulness staring together,
rage and hate joined into a fist.

I am the one you carry into the world
and cannot restore.
I am the sons of men
eagerly deceiving the wind.

You swear to protect me.
You swear to love me
but you kill the birth of my soul.

I am a frustrated dream,
annihilated desire.
I am a butterfly
undertaking its flight
and devoured by a flower.

I am this.
I am nothing,
a thing that opened its eyes to the world
but was assasintaed before it could see.

Yo Soy

Soy un cuerpo sin alma

un despojo hambriento de deseo.

una caricia convertida en tortura

soy una hoja en otoño

que pisoteada llora la desnudez de aquel que la vio nacer.

Soy la pena y el olvido

unidos en una mirada.

Soy la rabia y el odio contenidos en un puño.

Soy aquel que trajiste al mundo

y no pudiste devolver.

Soy los hijos de los hombres

engañados en el vientre.

Juraste protegerme,

juraste amarme,

pero mataste mi alma al nacer.

Soy un sueño frustrado,

un deseo anhelado.

Soy una mariposa que emprende el vuelo

y es devorada por una flor.

Eso soy...

No soy nada.

Algo que abrio los ojos y quiso ver el mundo,

pero fué asesinado antes de verlo
.
