MIGUEL ANGEL FLORES
Change of Ghosts
I look without seeing
into the darkness of my room
toward other eyes
that look without seeing me
and I will keep looking at them
until the fatigue that extinquishes
will flare up and dance in another space:
a ghost of the room that I know
will see and touch my quest of this night
[From Contrasuberna.
(Against the Tide),
Translated by Ron Rodriguez, 2009.]
