Nunca he sabido de palabras / Rafael Cadenas

I’ve Never Known About Words

I’ve never known about words
as much as I’ve wanted to.

Relegated to a time,
they don’t look for me.

I too, Auden, have
the best dictionaries that money can buy.

Pieces that line up
with distress.

Our life is arduous,
back there,
boiling.

I don’t want style,
but honesty.




Gestiones (1992)
