  • PLAYA Y CAMPO

    Paisajes De Ocaso

    A la luz oblicua de un sol en derrota,
    los tallos de cana madura i cortada
    parecen casquillos de cobre. Las tierras
    son un devastado campo de batalla.

    Dispersos fragmentos de viejos calderos
    una artilleria deshecha simulan,
    tras la barricada compacta que fingen
    dos filas contiguas de sacos de azucar.

    La acequia en declive, de lodosas aguas,
    en un chorro hirviente un fundido plomo,
    i hasta los guijarros en su cauce
    ruedan belicosamente.

    I es humeante el polvo...
    Pero hacia el oriente, surge
    otro paisajeque de opuesto
    modo la vista impresiona.

    PLAYO Y CAMPO
    Paisajes de Ocaso/Sunset Landscape

    When the sloping rays of the sun
    depressthe over-ripened sugar canes,
    they imitate copper helmets.
    The fields, a devastated war camp.

    Scattered pieces of old boilers
    make themselves into old bomb shells,
    behind compact casks. two unbroken
    lines of sugar bags.

    The flashing waters, pushes death down
    before is a boiling spurt of melted iron,
    the pebbles rolling down the river bed
    are atwar... Nothing but smoking dust...

    Something else is to the east:
    there, La Vida is impressive,
    La Vida face to face, the world
    of battle and that which enjoys...

    In a sane world that makes
    much of itself and makes clean,
    the cane fields are green and fresh.
    The little ones gambol and link limbs,
    under the lavender blue of the sky.

    Intermittent zephyrs, filtered by
    the innocents, produce timid,
    mothey explode in laughter.

    Even the light plays with the mist,
    painting two fat clouds,that
    become two smears of rose chalk,
    over the blackbird mountain,

    whisper as when at night
    hey explode in laughter.
    Tthe light plays with the mist,
    painting two fat clouds,

    that become two smears of rose chalk,
    over the blackbird mountains.
