somos primos
Somos primos
---"Somos primos"---, nos dice el bello loco
emergiendo de sus catedrales azules
de antiguos diálogos como señales en la niebla.
Ay! el desperezo de la noche en las galleras abandonadas.
El sombrío galope de los vencidos caballeros.
La confidencia de las ancianas vírgenes:
---"Nos entregaron polainas y espuelas de oro"---

We are cousins
--- "We are cousins "---, the beautiful fool tells us
emerging from his blue cathedrals
of ancient dialogues like signals in the fog.
Ouch! the stretching out of the night in the abandoned cockfighting rings.
The dark gallop of defeated gentlemen.
The confidence of the ancient virgins:
--- "They gave us long boot protectors and golden spurs" ---
