The Poem
Junio
Shi Tao
Toda mi vida
no conseguirá pasar más allá del junio.
En junio se detuvo mi corazón.
Concluyó mi poesía,
y murió mi amante
en la laguna de sangre
de amor.
En junio, un sol abrasador me abre la piel
y revela la verdadera naturaleza de mi herida.
En junio el pez salta del mar rojo sangre
para hibernar, en otro lugar.
En junio, la tierra se altera y los ríos callan.
Montones de cartas
que no se pueden entregar a los muertos.
