Death
TO ISIDORO DE BLAS
How hard they try!
How hard the horse tries
to become a dog.
How hard the dog tries to become a swallow.
How hard the swallow tries to become a bee.
How hard the bee tries to become a horse.
And the horse,
what a sharp arrow it squeezes from the rose,
what a pale rose rising from its lips!
10 And the rose,
what a flock of lights and cries
knotted in the living sugar of its trunk.
And the sugar,
what daggers it dreams in its vigils!
And these miniature daggers,
what a moon without stables, what nakedness,
undying and rosy flesh they seek out!
And I, on the roofâs edge,
what a burning angel I look for and am.
20 But the plaster arch,
how vast, how invisible, how minute,
without even trying!
