A luz dunha estrela (gl – en)

Por fortuna son esta forma informe
e agacho na cunca das mans 
as aristas escachadas da imperfección 
no corazón dunha esponxa mariña

así cando creo que o aire escasea
e sufro os mareos precursores da agonía
algo liso que debía manterse eterno
estrala e antes de se esvaer o asombro
xa estou alí de novo: 

estudando a luz dunha estrela
ou atrapado no arrecendo da abelia

The light of a star

Fortunately, I am this formless shape
and I cup in my hands
the broken edges of imperfection
at the heart of a sea sponge.

So when I think the air is running out
and suffer the dizziness that heralds agony,
something smooth that was meant to remain eternal
cracks open, and before the wonder fades
I am there again:

studying the light of a star
or caught in the scent of an abelia.
