veritas vincit

Entretejidas
vocales, consonantes:
casa del mundo.


An interweaving
of vowels and consonants:
the house of the world.

Troncos y paja:
por las rendijas entran
Budas e insectos.


Straw thatch and tree trunks:
they come in through the crannies:
Buddhas and insects.

Esto que digo
son apenas tres lineas:
choza de silabas.


What I am saying
barely fills up the three lines:
hut of syllables.

I've grown old enough
to love them
