VICENTE GERBASI

Abyss

I was pressured to lose faith in the abyss

where a rumor of thunder rises,

an apocalyptic splendor of darkness and fire.

Deeper is the space of the heart

in which the limits are renewed in paradise.

[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.]
