The Swans 

It is said that the swans 
love silence 
& they tell that they sing 
only at death. 
Their serenity & grace 
over the waters
belie their aggression 
which they share 
with their cousins the geese. 
Their beauty 
imputes them enchantment
& forgives them all.

	- Rafael Jesús González

Los cisnes 

Se dicen que los cisnes 
aman el silencio 
y cuentan que cantan 
sólo al morir. 
Su serenidad y gracia 
sobre las aguas 
desmienten su agresión 
que comparten 
con sus primos los gansos. 
Su belleza 
les achaca encanto 
y les perdona todo.

	- Rafael Jesús González
