Escuchando... Al cabo de un rato alzo otra vez el hacha

      Listening... After a while,   I take up my axe again

se alisa el agua: un cangrejo de río invade los huecos de mi cara

the water stills: a crayfish enters      the hollows of my face

una página de Shelley avivándose, apagándose al paso de las nubes

    A page of Shelley brightens and dims         with passing clouds

se empaña el espejo, un nombre escrito hace mucho reaparece vago

the mirror fogs, a name written long ago faintly reappears

lilas blancas antes del alba lucen solas

white lilacs before sunrise their own light

esperando para hacerlo de nuevo, lluvias de abril

while we wait to do it again, the rains of spring

donde tres se ahogaron las aguas del lago cabrillean de mañana

where three drowned the lake water sparkles in the morning

sale la luna... ojos de ratones de bolsas orillan el barranco

moonrise... eyes of rock mice rim the dry gully

gato muerto... la boca abierta al chaparrón

dead cat... open-mouthed to the pouring rain

Michael McClintock

fugaz ojo de ballena... las islas en el horizonte se hunden y boyan

passing whale's eye... the islands on the horizon sink and rise again

clarinar de gansos hondo en el espejo una puerta minúscula

sound of honking geese   deep in the mirror      a very small door

Some Came Running(1958)

[julesofnature]

Hummingbirds are found only in the western hemisphere, so they are absent from the traditional fairy tales, legends, and myths of European and African Americans. There is, however, a rich supply of stories about these tiny birds in Native American mythology. A Mayan legend says the hummingbird is actually the sun in disguise, and he is trying to court a beautiful woman, who is the moon. There is a legend from the Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation of Puerto Rico about a young woman and a young man, who were from rival tribes. Like Romeo and Juliet, they fell in love, precipitating the intense criticism of their family and friends. Nevertheless, the two of them found a way to escape both time and culture. One became a hummingbird and the other a red flower.  The Taino Indians also take the hummingbird to be a sacred pollinator, whose mission is to bring an abundance of new life.
