llueve la noche entera

Y vi a mis padres

bailando

felices, ebrios.

Asombrada los vi

y me sentí segura.

Eran ellos dos, uno

y yo con ellos.

No tuve miedo 

eran.

Casa de agua y de sombras (1992)

And I saw my parents 
dancing
 happy, drunk.

Amazed I saw them 
and felt safe.

It was both of them, one
 and I with them.

I was not afraid 
it was them.
