Novembre [el ultimo vida]

This is not one of Shakespeare's famous tragedies
But nothing can give a shelter to her blown soul
in the deadliest of winter her move suppressed
as cold epitaph watches Anna Luis to her destination
The saying of the old farmer, "Dios le bendiga"*
here Diego was buried
even his family never see his coffin
Sacred symbol of Santa Cruz embedded
Nothing can convince her about heaven above
Her view flies, recalls the everlasting scenery
where Diego rides with his caballo in that meadow
Like a piece of glass, her belief is no longer be able to gather
Nothing can give a rise to tears no more
Her awareness sucked into the grave of the swain
One and only residual is hate.
and vengeance.


(2004)
