Epístola a los transeúntes

| EPISTLE TO THE TRANSIENTS I resume my day of a rabbit, my night of an elephant in repose. And, to myself, I say: this is my immensity in the raw, in jugfuls, this is my graceful weight, that sought me below to become a bird; this is my arm that on its own refused to be a wing, these are my scriptures, these my alarmed cullions. A lugubrious island will illuminate me continental, while the capitol leans on my intimate collapse and the lance-filled assembly adjourns my parade. But when I die from life and not from time, when my two suitcases become two, this will be my stomach in which my lamp fit in pieces, this that head that atoned for the torments of the circle in my steps, these those worms that my heart counted one by one, this will be my solidary body over which the individual soul is watching: this will be my navel in which I killed my innate lice, this my thing thing, my dreadful thing. Meanwhile, convulsively, harshly, my bit convalesces, suffering like I suffer the direct language of the lion: and, because I have existed between two brick potentates, I too convalesce, smiling at my lips. Blood runs wild in the thermometer. It is not pleasant to die, lord, if one leaves nothing in life and if nothing is possible in death, except on top of what is left in life! It is not pleasant to die, lord, if one leaves nothing in life and if nothing is possible in death, except on top of what is left in life! It is not pleasant to die, lord, if one leaves nothing in life and if nothing is possible in death, except on top of what could have been left in life! | PURIHKUNAMAN KUNAKUY (Epístola a los Transeúntes nisqa) Yapa yapamantan p´unchaypi quwi, tutapitah elefante kayniyta yuya yuyarini samasqaypi.
