Domestic Lament by Peter Balakian *Traducción al Español*
Lamento Doméstico*
Como intensa muselina
hay aire alrededor de mi casa.
Una copa medio llena
de vinagre en mi escritorio.
Las mandarinas son globos estropeados
en un tazón.
Sigo mirando
como si estuviera pensando en la niebla
que se instala en el huerto
imaginando lo que hay más allá de mí.
Abajo aceite en el sartén-
ajos marrones
como de otro año
del tiempo
en que eras una forma en mi vida.
Domestic Lament
Like heavy muslin
there is air around my house.
A goblet half-full
of vinegar on my desk.
Tangerines are spoiled globes
in a bowl.
I keep looking
as if I were thinking about the fog
which settles into the orchard
imagining what’s beyond me.
Downstairs oil in a skillet-
garlic browns
as if from another year
from a time
when you were a shape in my life.
