Esta llama
Esta mínima llama vulnerable
que cualquier viento agita,
tiene algo suyo que me pertenece.
Le gusta contemplar desde su centro
lo que ilumina con su propio ser.
La realidad, así, no se le agota:
con las sombras que crecen
crece el mito.
Si tanto me ensimisma
será porque me asoma al más profundo
deseo que no alcanzo:
quemarme en mi raíz
y verme arder en lo que me sostiene.

This flame
This minute vulnerable flame
that any wind agitates,
has something of its own that belongs to me.
It likes to contemplate from its center
that which it illuminates with its own being.
The reality, this way, doesn't exhaust:
with shadows rising
the myth grows.
If it makes me go into myself
it must be because I'll be overlooking at the deepest
desire I can't reach:
to burn in my own root
and see myself burn in what sustains me.
