Homenaje al poeta Salvadoreño

Lil Milagro Ramírez

  1. ‘Of Time’ 
  2. Lil Milagro Ramírez, trans. Jessica Rainey 

  3. Love the shadows,
    they will save you from death,
    love the night that hides you,
    love the darkness,
    but don’t forget, my friend,
    those who don’t treasure the stars
    won’t see the light when it rises.     

  4. This is the night of the fated.
    I am awake, huddling anxiety,
    heavy in the shadows of despair.
    I await nonetheless
    the arrival
    of a single word. 

  5. I lose my way in the light, backtrack
    to the mirror of dazzling days.
    I seek oblivion
    but every shadow is a trap set for me.
    I hear of a lake dying of thirst,
    recall stories of wingless birds.
    Behind me remains
    the dust of the yellow hours.    

  6. I come from a city where sometimes
    we have very clear evenings
    – only sometimes.
    Now I know why
    I don’t like to discern
    the colour of vultures’ wings
    nor want to share the light
    with those who won’t
    let men smile.

     

     Monseñor Óscar Romero
