on the Summer Solstice - Rafael Jesús González

en el solsticio veraniego/on the Summer Solstice

(y a mis queridos cangrejos/& to my dear crabs)


Cancer

                        The crab longs,
                after the long day,
                     to tear from the sky
                    that coin of cold silver
                        that is the moon.
                               Its eyes are ruby beads
                        & in its entrails
                               it keeps a sensitive pearl
                      which it longs to carry very deep,
                                      very deep
                       to the cardinal point of the waters,
                                the primordial depths of the sea.


                                - Rafael Jesús González 

Cáncer

                        El cangrejo anhela,
                     después del largo día,
                  arrancar del cielo
                      esa moneda de plata fría
                        que es la luna.
                        Sus ojos son cuentas de rubí
                            y en las entrañas
                               guarda un perla sensitiva
                       que anhela llevar muy hondo,
                                    muy hondo
                       al punto cardinal del agua,
                             al fondo primordial del mar.
