O OUTRO LADO

Soa unha alarma no edificio
o canto da curuxa no salón
exténdense polo rodapé infinito
resoa no patio interior
Soñaras cos paxaros esa noite
deixas unha codia no balcón
cóllelo ascensor ata garaxe
cóllela circunvalación

Na autoestrada un anuncio en grande:
El amor no existe, se hace
baixo a foto con palmeiras
ó final da primavera segan a herba salvaxe

na cuneta outra sinal
na radio cantaba Sinead
Torceche na líña continua
colléchela pista forestal

E un día marchache, cruzáchelo valado
retoñaba o loureiro no monte queimado
roubáchesllo lume, prendéchelo facho
e na língua das bestas
amañeceche cantando

Na panadería conta Luz Divina
que agora vas feita un poema
seguente tres paxaros, como o cheiro das milfollas
polos cables da luz
Camiñas pola rúa do Progreso
como quen chimpa nas pólas
ouveas de memoria e recitas
nas paradas do bus

E un día marchache, cruzáchelo valado
retoñaba o loureiro no monte queimado
roubáchesllo lume, prendéchelo facho
e na língua das bestas
amañeceche ó outro lado

EN

THE OTHER SIDE

An alarm clock rings in the building
an owl hooting down the hall,
it echoes off the skirting board
chimes in the patio interior.

You dreamt last night with the birds
placed a crust of bread on the sill,
took the lift down to the garage
then the ring road out of town.

Expanding palm trees
on a billboard down the motorway​​​​​
under Love doesn’t exist, you make it
the wildflowers are mown, come spring. ​​​​

Sinéad on the radio
as you drive over the white line,
there’s another sign in the ditch​​​​​
that leads to the forest path.

​Then one day you just left, clear over the fence
​the laurel trees sprout on the burnt hillsides
​and you stole the fire, and you lit the torch
​in the language of beasts
​you woke up
​singing.

Luz Divina down the bakery
says you’re got up like a poem!
the scent of fresh pastry
three birds follow you home.

Skipping down Progreso
swinging from tree to tree,
reciting lines at the bus stop
you howl from memory.

​Then one day you just left, clear over the fence
​the laurel trees sprout on the burnt hillsides
​and you stole the fire, and you lit the torch
​in the language of beasts
​you woke up
​on the other side.

the other side...
