Twenty-One Love Poems
Adrienne Rich (1929 - )
II. I wake up in your bed...
I wake up in your bed. I know I have been dreaming.
Much earlier, the alarm broke us from each other,
you've been at your desk for hours. I know what I dreamed:
our friend the poet comes into my room
where I've been writing for days,
drafts, carbons, poems are scattered everywhere,
and I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake. You've kissed my hair
to wake me. I dreamed you were a poem,
I say, a poem I wanted to show someone . . .
and I laugh and fall dreaming again
of the desire to show you to everyone I love,
to move openly together
in the pull of gravity, which is not simple,
which carried the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing air.
Veintiún Poemas de Amor
II. Me despierto en tu cama...
Me despierto en tu cama. Se que he estado soñando.
Temprano la alarma del reloj nos ha separado,
Tu has estado trabajando en tu escritorio toda la mañana. Sé lo que he soñado:
Nuestra amiga la poeta viene a mi habitación
Donde he estado escribiendo por días,
Bocetos, carbonillas, poemas desperdigados en todas partes,
Y yo quiero mostrarle un poema
Que es el poema de mi vida. Pero vacilo, y me despierto
Tu me has besado los cabellos para despertarme.
Yo soñaba que tu eras un poema, quiero decir, un poema que yo quería mostrarle a alguien...me río y caigo en sueños nuevamente
con deseos de mostrarle a todo el mundo que amo,
Para introducirnos abiertamente juntas
En el influjo de la gravedad, que no es sencillo,
Que el elevado viento transporta al césped alado por un largo caminoLabels: Adrienne Rich |
