EL FUTURO

 A veces lloro

por una mancha en la pared

y me preocupa

llorar por una idiotez.

Mañana mismo

un balneario buscare

a ser posible

en el Pirineo Frances.

La luna llena

se vestira como un galan

y pasearemos

y luego el sol llegara

Habra pelea

La luna se retirara

Y es muy probable

que el sol me invite a nadar.

El Futuro no es

una mancha en la pared

Ni mas horas mirando

al mundo desde un canape

El Futuro es ahogarse

en vasitos de agua termal

Apurando a sorbitos

el momento estival.

Cuando regrese

ya no habra mancha en la pared

Habra una foto

en el Pirineo Frances.

En el invierno

sentada en mi canape

hare mis planes.

Mi plaza reservare...

ARCHIE Y TINA

 Archie and Tina

Archie and Tina
Where are you now,
Playmates of my childhood,
Brother and sister?

When we stayed in the same place
With Archie and Tina
At the seaside,
We used

To paddle the samphire beds, fish
Crabs from the sea-pool, poke
The anemones, run
Trailing the ribbon seaweed across the sand to the sea’s edge
To throw it in as far as we could. We dug
White bones of dead animals from the sandhills, found
The jaw-bones of a fox with some teeth in it, a stoat’s skull,
The hind leg of a hare.

Oh, if only; oh if only!

Archie and Tina
Had a dog called Bam. The silver-sand
Got in his long hair. He had
To be taken home.

Oh, if only…!

One day when the wind blew strong
Our dog, Boy, got earache. He had
To be taken home in a jersey.

Oh what a pleasure, what pleasure!
There were never so many poppies as there were then,
So much yellow corn so many fine days,
Such bright air, such seas.

Was it necessary that

Archie and Tina,Bam and Boy,

Should have been there too ?

Yes,then it was.But to say now:

Where are you today:

Archie and Tina

Playmates of my childhood,

Brother and Sister?Is no more than

to say:

I remember

Such pleasure,so much pleasure.
