In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter – bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
EN EL DESIERTO
En el desierto
Vi una criatura, desnuda, bestial,
Que, en cuclillas sobre el suelo,
Sostenía su corazón en sus manos
Y comía de él.
Dije: "¿Está bueno, amigo?
"Es amargo – amargo," contestó;
"Pero me gusta,
Porque es amargo,
Y porque es mi corazón."
