Voo (gl – en)

As mans de centos de persoas 
acariñaran a pel suave do avión
aplicaran a exacta presión
para desterrar o azar 
a un exilio afastado 
e conseguirlle o permiso de voo

Na viaxe sobrevoamos 
prados ingleses ben delimitados
e as augas dun océano azul
ao chegar de novo á terra
os montes cubrían o chan 
de cicatrices secas

salto pola estreita fiestra ovalada
salto e baixo rápido 
sen a molestia do vento na cara
bastante antes do esperado impacto
e a entrada noutra dimensión, abro as ás 
a traxectoria pasa á horizontal
 
Aterro suavemente na penedía
a baixada encheume de enerxía
mentres o avion se afasta 
atendendo os seus asuntos
eu percorro xa a pé o macizo 
ilusionado, esperanzado, 
listo para nomear cada pedra
cada pluma, cada óso
con só o esforzo da miña boca

Flight

The hands of hundreds of people 
had caressed the soft skin of the plane 
applied the exact pressure 
to banish chance to a distant exile 
and obtain its flight permit

On the journey we flew 
over well-defined English meadows 
and the waters of a blue ocean 
when we reached land again 
the mountains covered the ground 
with dry scars 

I jumped through the narrow oval window 
and descended quickly 
without the annoyance of the wind in my face 
well before the expected impact 
and the entrance to another dimension 
I spread my wings, the trajectory became horizontal 

I landed softly on the rocky ground 
te descent filled me with energy 
while the plane was moving away 
minding its own business 
I walked the massif on foot 
excited and hopeful 
ready to name each stone 
each feather, each bone 
with just the effort of my mouth.
