IX Poem by Santiago Mutis Durán

IX



You were not one of those boys that kill birds
you did not like to sense the stone blow
tearing the light,
winged body
of those haunted leaves

No, you were not cruel - at first
You dreamed

of having
a sex like your mother's
and nipples of ruby

Translation: 2005, Nicolás Suescún
