ANA DELGADO PALOMINO / TRANSLATED BY OLIVIA BRALEY

X

Oh ojalá ser
misericordiosamente estrangulada,

arrojada en ríos de leche,

ojalá ver

el nacimiento de un bosque

y cuando vuelva
escribir/hacer
corazón

Oh I’d like to be
strangled mercifully,

thrown in rivers of milk,

I’d like to see

the birth of a forest

and when I return
to write / to be
a heart
