estou preso
preso vivo preso
no espazo reducido
da cabana que na praia
armara un neno pequeno
espetados na area
catro paus branqueados
polo sal persistente
cúbreos unha rede vella
onde secaron rachóns de algas
e espiñas de ourizo mariño
véñenme visitar
a brisa e as insidiosas moscas
non teño carencia de osíxeno
nin tampouco a forza de liberarme
desta teimosa xaula de infancia
Four sticks
i am imprisoned
prisoner, i live prisoner
in the confined space
of the hut than in the beach
a little boy had put together
stuck in the sand
four sticks bleached
by persistent salt
and covered by an old net
where tears of seaweed
and sea urchin spines dried
the breeze and the insiduous flies
come to visit me
I have neither lack in oxygen
nor the force to free me
of this stubborn childhood cage
