Verónica Aranda · SPAIN (1982)

„I searched in your body for the garlands of thirst,

for the path of pomegranates
revived by the grey squirrels of silence,

for a mauve sunset,
or that rapid decision

that fades away in the alleys of meditation.“

VERÓNICA ARANDA, SPAIN (1982)
Translation: Wolfgang Klinck
From “Cortes de luz”
Second Adonáis Prize 2009
