Even the contemplative life is only an effort to hide the body so the feet don’t stick out.

Ocaso de lo ilícito

Tú, con tus largas y vacías ubres

Y tu calma,

Tu ropa blanca manchada y tus

Fláccidos brazos.

Con dedos saciados arrastrándose

En tus palmas.

Tus rodillas muy separadas como

Pesadas esferas;

Con discos sobre tus ojos como

Cáscaras de lágrimas,

Y grandes lívidos aros de oro

Atrapados en tus orejas.

Tu pelo teñido cardado a mano

Alrededor de tu cabeza.

Labios, mucho tiempo alargados por sabias palabras

Nunca dichas.

Y en tu vivir todas las muecas

De los muertos.

Te vemos sentada al sol

Dormida;

Con los más dulces dones que tenías

Y no has conservado,

Nos afligimos de que los altares de

Tu vicio reposen profundos.

Tú, el polvo del ocaso de

Un amanecer húmedo de fuego;

Tú la gran madre de

La cría ilícita;

Mientras las otras se encogen en virtud

Tú has dado a luz.

Te veremos mirando al sol

Unos cuantos años más;

Con discos sobre tus ojos como

Cáscaras de lágrimas;

Y grandes lívidos aros de oro

Atrapados en tus orejas.

/

Twilight of the Ilicit

YOU, with your long blank udders

And your calms,

Your spotted linen and your

Slack'ning arms.

With satiated fingers dragging

At your palms.

Your knees set far apart like

Heavy spheres;

With discs upon your eyes like

Husks of tears,

And great ghastly loops of gold

Snared in your ears.

Your dying hair hand-beaten

'Round your head.

Lips, long lengthened by wise words

Unsaid.

And in your living all grimaces

Of the dead.

One sees you sitting in the sun

Asleep;

With the sweeter gifts you had

And didn't keep,

One grieves that the altars of

Your vice lie deep.

You, the twilight powder of

A fire-wet dawn;

You, the massive mother of

Illicit spawn;

While the others shrink in virtue

You have borne.

We'll see you staring in the sun

A few more years,

With discs upon your eyes like

Husks of tears;

And great ghastly loops of gold

Snared in your ears.
