arrastradas al mar


1.

bajo la luna primaveral
os veo danzando
en silencio debajo del agua
10,000 almas
arrastradas al mar
vuestras columnas dorsales se suben
a las corrientes del pacífico
como juncos sinuosos
la canción que se escapa
de vuestros labios
es silencioso
como el tsunami
que se lavanta
sobre la tierra

2.

fuiste niño
tu negro pelo se extiende
por el agua
fuiste hija
tu mano suspendida
busca tu madre
fuiste abuela
tu cabellera flota
alrededor de ti
como una blanca aureola
fuiste padre 
tu ojos son negros
y luminosos
10,000 estrellas
agujerean
la noche
 

--Lorena Wolfman

washed out to sea

1.

under a spring moon
i see you dancing
silently under the water
10,000 strong
washed out to sea
your spine rides the pacific currents
like a sinuous reed
the song escaping your mouth
is silent
like a tsunami rising
above the earth

2.

you were a child
your hair black
flows outward
into the water
you were a daughter
your hand suspended
reaches out for your mother
you were a grandmother
your hair flows
all around you
like a halo
you were a father
your eyes are black
and luminous
10,000 stars
pierce
the night
 

--Lorena Wolfman
