Embeleso

Me inclino a besarte y
mi pluma cae al suelo.
La miro de canto y errante,
y desnuda toda yo
de baluarte me digo
si es grato darte un beso
en la boca por un rato,
si desplumada no escribo
versos que te besen tanto.


Elena Vilallonga



Enchantment

I bend over to kiss you and
my pen falls to the floor.
I look at it askance, roving,
and helplessly
naked I ask myself
if it'd be pleasing to kiss you
on the mouth for a while
if now penless I no longer write
verses that kiss you so much.




sintitulo

Quién querría ir al origen
del corazón y aplastar sus migas
sobre una mesa vacía
frente al balcón
una tarde y otra tarde de desidia
y sentir el desapego
de todos nuestros deseos
lo más recto de esta vida
al lamer de nuestras yemas esas trizas
si a latín andan sabiendo
que nadie querría vivir
siempre con un diccionario
ronroneando en las tripas.


Elena Vilallonga


untitled

Who would want to go to the origin
of the heart and crush its crumbs
on an empty table
in front of the balcony
one languid afternoon or another
and feel the detachment
from all our desires
the most rigid thing in this life
licking bits from our fingertips
that taste of Latin but know
that nobody would want to live
forever with a dictionary
purring in his guts.
