a note left behind from the one (quien se descarriló)
blame this inclement October day
gritar a los gallos desconsiderados
do whatever need be done –
pero no me señales con el dedo
or inculpate my venerated Lady,
una hyna llamada Melancolía
for that frown you scrutinize on my lips,
sé que la maldices cada vez que tienes oportunidad
and I will relent in trying to determine why –
pero tu opinión no tiene importancia para nosotras
I am happy with where I lay my impoverished eyes every night,
no puedo llorar más lágrimas
‘cause I found my one and only
el lugar que he buscado en este universo,
where erudite discussions are encouraged, and rapture is sustained
a merced de la hyna, Melancolía, y su gracia
you will never see with an ambivalent eye when I’m here,
porque estoy donde están los perdidos.
