    Una en mí maté I killed a woman in me sin gracia de amor lacking love's grace Pero ya saben mi cuerpo y mi alma que viene caminando por la raya amoratada de mi largo grito, sin enredarse en el fresno glorioso ni relajarse en los bancos de arena. ¿Cómo no ha de llegar si me lo traen los elementos a los que fui dada? El agua me lo alumbra en los hondones, el fuego me lo urge en el poniente y el viento Norte aguija sus costados. But already my body and my soul know that he comes walking the livid ribbon of my long shout, without entangling himself in the glorious ash-tree or relaxing on the sandbanks. How could he not arrive, if the elements I’m pledged to bring him to me? The water lights him for me in the depths, the fi re hurries him to me in the sunset and the north wind pricks his flanks. y cuando me la pienso, yo la tengo, y le voy sin descanso recitando la letanía de todos los nombres que me aprendí, como ella vagabunda; pero el Ángel oscuro nunca, nunca, quiso que yo la cruce en los senderos. and when I think of her, I possess her, and for her I recite without rest the litany of all the names that I learned, like her a wanderer; but the dark Angel never, never wanted my path to cross hers. Y él sigue escuchando mares que no aman sino a sí mismos. Pero tal vez ya nada escuche, de haber parado en sal y olvido. And he keeps listening to seas that love nothing but themselves. But maybe now he listens to nothing, stalled in forgetfulness and salt. Y ahora el viento que huele a pesebres, a sudor y a resuello de ganados, es el amante que bate mi cuello y ofende mis espaldas con su grito. And now the wind that smells of mangers, of sweat and the snorting of cattle, is the lover that lashes my neck and injures my back with his wail. La calentura del estío, lo dorado de nuestros ojos o lo rojo de nuestra lengua. Son los aniversarios de los velorios y las fi estas, de la niña entera y ardiente que sigue ardiendo bajo la tierra. The fever of summer, the gilding of our eyes or the red of our tongue. They are the remembrances of the wakes and the parties, of the girl pure and fi ery who keeps burning underground. Apresúrate, Orestes, ya que seremos dos siempre, dos, como manos cogidas o los pies corredores de la tórtola huida. No dejes que yo marche en esta noche rumbo al desierto y tanteando en la niebla. Yo no quiero saber, pero quisiera saberlo todo de tu boca misma, cómo cayó, qué dijo dando el grito y si te dio maldición o te bendijo. Espérame en el cruce del camino en donde hay piedras lajas y unas matas de menta y de romero, que confortan. Make haste, Orestes, now that we’ll be two forever; two, like clasped hands or the running feet of a fl ushed dove. Don’t leave me to follow this night course to the desert, feeling my way in the mist. I don’t want to know, but I would like to know it all from your own mouth, how she fell, what she said when she screamed and whether she cursed or blessed you. Wait for me at the crossroads where there are fl at stones and some clumps of mint and rosemary to comfort us. Si todo ha sido sueño y desvaríos que me madure en el sueño la muerte. If it’s all been dream and delirium may death ripen me in my dream. No te vea yo más, no más yo duerma tocándote las sienes; no más abras estas mis puertas y arranques de los brazos a Electra y Orestes para otra hoguera. Siento como que va de mí subiendo otra alma y que me viene como al árbol otra carne y que las llamas de Ifi genia me alcanzan y me visten. Never more let me see you, never more let me sleep touching your temples; never more open these my doors and tear from my arms Electra and Orestes for another pyre. I feel as if another soul rises from me and another flesh comes to me as to a tree, and that the flames of Iphigenia overtake me and clothe me. Ya vaciaste su cuerpo que era mío, y su sangre me anhelaba por las losas. Ya estás bebiendo el cuerpo que detestas y yo repaso el que me sabía. Sangre tiene la voz que me desposa y tu hálito también y hasta tus gestos. Todo lo sigo viendo, aquí, a tu puerta, en tu luz y en tu aire de tu patria, Already you’ve emptied his body that was mine, while his blood longed for me from the stones. Already you’re drinking the body you hate and I recall the one who knew me. The voice that betroths me has blood in it and your breath too and even your gestures. I keep seeing it all, here, at your door, in your light, and in your air, your country—
