La Femme at Acentos Review

NEW SHORT STORY -- LA FEMME AT ACENTOS REVIEW

La Femme by Fawzy Zablah in the August 2015 issue of the Acentos Review!

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.
