La maravilla

Dizzying height and misty wilderness
Two leather-shod feet rest upon the precipice
As far as the eye can see
Indecipherable, breathless winds tickle
The tops of the soft evergreen tufts
Fear, the friendliest emotion
Shakes the hand of the sojourner
With firm, sweaty grip and
Brief and knowing smile
Down!
Diving like a sea-hawk, glimmering with salt
Crystals form around the corners of her mouth
Leaving faces living in the light of all but rainbows
To know the way is an unbearable weight
Piles of shouldered boulders follow the path
While the lost float away languidly with the clouds
Ay!
Conociendose es mejor
Que ser anonimo pero
Todas se pierdan una vez mas
Los numbes y los rios juegan, una cancion
De dolor profundo y suenos llenos de agua
Y nunca me voy a conocer
Un barco me arrastra
Hasta el trono de diamante
La silla, la casa
Encontrando cuerpos muertos de
Estrellitas y sonries
