Entre los miles
que son conocidos,
o que quieren ser conocidos
como poetas,
quizá uno o dos
sean auténticos
y el resto son impostores,
rondando por los recintos sagrados
tratando de parecer genuinos.
No hace falta decir
que yo soy uno de
los impostores,
y ésta es mi historia.
Libro del anhelo, 2006.
Traducción de Alberto Manzano.
THOUSANDS
Out of the thousands
who are known,
or who want to be known
as poets,
maybe one or two
are genuine
and the rest are fakes,
hanging around the sacred
precincts
trying to look like the real thing.
Needless to say
I am one of the fakes,
and this is my story
