El velo perforado- The pierced veil - Bilingûal poetry

"Cuanto más oscura es la noche, más brillantes son las estrellas. Cuanto más profundo es el dolor, más cercano está Dios."

Fëdor Dostoievski

El velo perforado


La vida nos confronta.
La conciencia,
el velo perforado:
esa mirada ciega que nos mira
mirando en la nada.
Nuestros egos,
muros que entre tú y yo
se levantan,
fortificados de vacío,
entierran aún más el hacha.
Más allá de nosotros,
en nuestras fronteras,
somos mutantes:
noctívagos cazando a la luna.
Afuera, la noche respira
envuelta en un escudo infinitesimal.
Se extiende,
llena de muchos ojos valientes,
de espejos de lucha y cascabeles,
pero la guadaña de esta crisis
nos desmembra
y gana la batalla.
Vamos a tejernos
en la orilla de esta noche.
Eres aún más oscuro
a punto de amanecer.
Tiempo, que en fragmentos frágiles
se despliega
sobre lo que fuimos
y seremos.

"The darker the night, the brighter the stars. The deeper the pain, the closer God is."

Fëdor Dostoyevsky

The pierced veil


Life confronts us.
Consciousness,
the pierced veil:
that blind look that looks
at us looking into nothingness.
Our egos,
walls that rise between
you and me,
fortified in a vacuum,
they bury the axe even more.
Beyond us,
on our borders,
we're mutants,
nocturnal owls hunting the moon.
Outside, the night breathes
wrapped in an infinitesimal shield.
It extends,
full of many brave eyes,
of fighting mirrors and bells,
but the scythe of this crisis
it breaks us
and wins the battle.
We're going to weave
on the shore tonight.
You are even darker
on the verge of dawn.
Time, which in fragile fragments
it unfolds
on what we were
and will be.
