Roque Dalton -- Y Sin Embargo, Amor






Y sin embargo, amor, a través de las lágrimas,
yo sabía que al fin iba a quedarme
desnudo en la ribera de la risa.

Aquí,
hoy,
digo:
siempre recordaré tu desnudez en mis manos,
tu olor a disfrutada madera de sándalo
clavada junto al sol de la mañana;
tu risa de muchacha,
o de arroyo,
o de pájaro;
tus manos largas y amantes
como un lirio traidor a sus antiguos colores;
tu voz,
tus ojos,
lo de abarcable en ti que entre mis pasos
pensaba sostener con las palabras.

Pero ya no habrá tiempo de llorar.

Ha terminado
la hora de la ceniza para mi corazón.

Hace frío sin ti,
pero se vive.

BOOK REVIEW OF RARITY OF THE CENTURY


BLURBS:

"Fawzy Zablah is smart as hell and his writing connects what others miss. He puts Miami on the map the way Noah Cicero does Youngstown, OH -- as a blighted pit where only your wits can save you."
-- Ned Vizzini, author of It's Kind of a Funny Story

"Sweeps you up."
--Noah Cicero, author of The Human War
