Labores da horta

No medio dos labores da horta 
o zunido dunha hélice afastada
pronto materializouse sobre as viñas 
no frenético voo concentrado 
de milleiros de insectos
o desconcerto paralizou as máquinas
que deixaron patente co seu silêncio 
a chegada triunfal das abellas 

En voo circular arredor da señora
buscando a sombra 
fóronse devagar instalando 
baixo un poste da parra
até crear logo dunhas horas 
o uve da sua colectiva victoria 

O apicultor co dorso do índice da man dereita acariciou a materia fluida 
de corpos aleteando alternativamente, 
diagnosticou a hora de partida 
e levou consigo a negra sombra
así puidemos permitirlle á curiosidade 
un palco no que saciar a sede da infância
excitados os ollos de asistir ao nacemento


Gardening tasks

In the midst of the gardening tasks 
the buzz of a distant propeller 
soon materialized over the vines 
in the frantic concentrated flight 
of thousands of insects 
the bewilderment paralyzed the machines which made clear with their silence 
the triumphant arrival of the bees 

In a circular flight around the lady 
seeking shade, slowly settling under a vine post 
until after a few hours they created 
the v of their collective victory 

The beekeeper, with the back of his right index finger 
caressed the fluid matter 
of the alternately flapping bodies, 
diagnosed the time of departure, 
and took the black shadow with him  
thus allowing curiosity 
a platform in which to quench the thirst of childhood, 
eyes excited to share in the birth.
