EL DOLOR DEL MATRIMONIO




El dolor del matrimonio:

muslo y lengua, querido,
pesan con él,
late en los dientes

buscamos comunión
y nos rechazan, querido,
a todos y a cada uno

es leviatán y
en su vientre
buscamos la alegría, una alegría
desconocida afuera

de a dos en el arca de
su dolor.




THE ACHE OF MARRIAGE 

The ache of marriage:

thigh and tongue, beloved,
are heavy with it,
it throbs in the teeth

We look for communion
and are turned away, beloved,
each and each

It is leviathan and we
in its belly
looking for joy, some joy
not to be known outside it

two by two in the ark of
the ache of it.



(de Poems 1960-1967, New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1983)
