para que nos encontremos en ese árbol contramundo

Para que nos encontremos en ese árbol contramundo
donde la lluvia venía por tus ojos
para bañar la hierba
para encontrarnos en el árbol de las chicharras
bajo el peso del sol oculto en la luz de mi rostro
había un temblor en tu risa
conjurando los ruidos de mi corazón
los ruidos de los taxis
detrás de las murallas-alambres
el gran parque
cuando nos encontremos en ese árbol
y sientas los niños que te nombran
viajando en nuestra piel
hacia las fuentes donde camina el día
como ojo de mar
este mar turbulento del gran árbol del mundo
te llamará mi rostro
mi sudor
cuando nos encontremos

So that we may meet under that tree from the counter world
where the rain came through your eyes
to bathe the grass
so that we may meet under the tree of the cicadas
under the weight of the sun hidden in the light of my face
there was a tremor in your laughter
conjuring the sounds of my heart
the noise of the taxicabs
behind the wired walls
the large park
so that we may meet under that tree
and you may feel the children that name you
traveling on our skin
toward the fountains where the day walks by
like an eye of the sea
this turbulent sea of the great world tree
my face will call you
my sweat
whenever we may meet
