Vibraciones

I. Tree

Pedro se sienta
y dice
la palabra
"árbol"

y imagina
vibraciones
resonando
desde el pasado
hacia el presente

el dice la palabra
y ve
el primer árbol en el primer jardín
con su fruta
con su serpiente.

Se sienta debajo
de su árbol en su jardín
y sabe que su idioma
es la fruta
y que su lengua
es el serpiente
que silba
debajo del árbol.

II.

At night I dream of a dark ocean full of letters
with waves that rush and pull at my feet
the letters spill onto the shore
and beat against the rocks

I know that if I enter these waters
the waves will pull me under
swallowing me whole
filling my pink lungs.

I know that if I open my eyes
I will see the source

But for some reason, in my dreams,
I keep my eyes and mouth shut
blinding myself
suffocating myself

The letters are warm and silky
they cover my skin
constantly forming
infinite permutations
and combinations of words.

I know, in my dreams, that one day
these waters with caste my cold body out
and I will lay on the shore
as the letters recede back into the sea.

I know this in my dreams...
