VICENTE GERBASI

 

 

Soisola

 

Hidden in the trees of the blanket

your music is sky blue

in the distant hills

She penetrates my loneliness

in the somber colors of leaves.

She detains an hour of sadness.

 

 

 

[From Retumba como un sótano del cielo (Rumblings like a cellar from the sky), 1977, by Vecente Gerbasi ((June 2, 1913 in Canaobo, Carabobo - December 28, 1992, Caracas). Translated by Ron Rodriguez, 2009.]
