se buscaba en todas partes
Se buscaba en todas partes
en clósets y baúles.
En un baúl hallé un sombrero
rosado, de ala, de plumas
bello. elegante.
Era su imagen.
Luz por él me vino.
Me vi en los espejos, bailé
bella por ella era
todos sus amores, todas sus pasiones
sus viajes, sus locuras
me habían sido otorgadas...
y no era ella
era también otra
la que inventé para mí.

She looked everywhere for herself
in closets and chests.
In a trunk I found a hat
pink, winged, with feathers
beautiful, elegant.
It was her image.
Light came to me through him.
I saw myself in the mirror, I danced
beautiful she was
all her loves, her passions
her travels, her follies
had been given to me...
and she was not herself
she was also another
which I made up for me.
