And if you come back

Teresa Pasqual · Spain

 

Joaquín Sorolla

And if you come back to me one evening
of sea and seagulls,
I will try
to kiss the traces of your eyes,
and if you weep, the void
and the doubt of your lips
on lost beaches
will parch my mouth. 

TERESA PASQUAL, Spain

Translation Germain Droogenbroodt

From: Les hores

***

I si em tornes un vespre / de mar i de gavines, / intentaré besar / els camins dels teus ulls, /i si plores, el trenci el dubte dels teus llavis / em secaran la boca / sobre platges perdudes.
