I-Reinaldo Arenas - Ukukhethwa kwezinkondlo
ama-sonnets avela esihogweni
Konke obekungenzeka, noma ngabe bekukhona,
Akukaze kube njengoba kwakuphuphile.
Unkulunkulu wenhlupheko unakekele
ukunikeza okungokoqobo enye incazelo.
Omunye umqondo, ongakaze ubonwe ngaphambili,
ihlanganisa isifiso esifeziwe;
ukuze injabulo isalokhu ithokozelwa
akasoze alingana nalokhu okusunguliwe.
Lapho iphupho lakho lifezekile
(unzima, umsebenzi onzima kakhulu)
ngeke kube khona umuzwa wokuthi uphumelele
kunalokho ihlala ebuchosheni obukhathele
intuition emnyama yokuthi uke waphila
ngaphansi kwe-perennial con behlile.
Cha, umculo oqinile
Cha, mculo oqinile, khuluma kimi ngezulu!
lapho kuphoqelekile ukumba umhlaba.
Angicabangi ukuthi ikhona induduzo enjalo
lapho kuwukuphila kuphela impi engapheli.
Hhayi-ke, ubani owesabekayo osevele wadweba iveli
uyazi ukuthi izinto ezesabekayo kuphela emhlabeni.
Ayinamsebenzi ingoma yakho, ukushisekela kanye nokushisekela:
Ngizwa kuvaleka umnyango wokugcina.
Futhi i-snap yaleyo snap inkulu kakhulu
ukuthi izwi elinesibindi selivele liyacasuka
emsindweni wawo owomileyo, ukubhonga kwawo okubulalayo,
kanye nemisindo eminingi yomculo
ngaphambi kwesiphithiphithi esingaka samasango
namahemuhemu ayo nawo ayathulisa.
inyanga yokugcina
Kungani lo muzwa wokuyofuna wena
lapho kungakhathaliseki ukuthi undiza kangakanani
Akumele ngikuthole.
Yeka ukwesaba okungapheli okungicindezelayo manje
ngaphezu kokwesaba okukhulu njalo kukuvusa.
Usizi lwethu ngeke likuthole ukuphumula
(ukuthi ukuyithola kuzoba ukuqala omunye umusho)
futhi ngenxa yesizathu esifanayo angisoze ngayeka ukucabanga ngawe.
Luna, ngiyaphinda futhi lapha ngiboshiwe
ezimpambanweni zemigwaqo yokwethuka okuningi.
Isikhathi esidlule silahlekile
Futhi uma ngivuka kusukela okwamanje
Wukubona ukuthi ngilimele
(kanye nokufa)
ngoba sengiphile ikusasa.
Lokho, ngokungenakuphikwa, leyo yinhlanhla
ukuthi ngenxa yokuvela esihogweni ngibhekane nakho.
isithandwa esiyinqaba,
Kufanele ngicabange ubuso bakho kuphela
(okwami)
ngoba mina nawe siwumfula
ewela ihlane elingapheli,
isiyingi futhi akupheli:
isililo esisodwa
Ngakho uCervantes wayehlome eyodwa
Ngakho lokho Cervantes wayehlome eyodwa;
isithulu, uBeethoven; I-Villon, isela;
U-Góngora wayehlanya kangangokuthi wahamba ngensinga.
Futhi Proust? Yiqiniso, fagot.
Umthengisi wezigqila, yebo, kwakunguDon Nicolás Tanco,
futhi uVirginia wathatha izintambo,
ULautrémont washona eqandisiwe ebhentshini.
Maye, uShakespeare naye wayeyi-fagot.
Futhi uLeonardo noFederico Garcia,
Whitman, Michelangelo noPetronius,
UGide, uGenet noVisconti, ababulalayo.
Lona, Madoda, umlando omfushane wokuphila komuntu
(eshu, ngikhohliwe ukusho u-Saint Anthony!)
yalabo abagcina isikhathi ubuciko obuqinile.
mina nawe silahliwe
mina nawe silahliwe
ngentukuthelo yenkosi engabonakali ubuso bayo
ukudansa endaweni eshisiwe
noma ukucasha embongolweni yesilo esithile.
Mina nawe sihlala siyiziboshwa
yaleso siqalekiso esingaziwa.
Ngaphandle kokuphila, ukulwela ukuphila.
Engenakhanda, efaka isigqoko.
Ama-Vagabonds ngaphandle kwesikhathi nangaphandle kwendawo,
ubusuku obungapheli busizungezile,
kuthandela izinyawo zethu, kusivimbele.
Sihamba siphupha isigodlo esikhulu
nelanga, umfanekiso walo ophukile, liyasibuyisela
siguqulwe saba yijele elisivikelayo.
Akubona abafileyo abacasulayo
Akuyena umuntu ofile obangela isithukuthezi
Kuyamangaza ukubona ukuthi sikhohlwa kanjani
ukufa kwakhe, usizi lwethu olukhulu.
Umuntu ofile usale, siyahamba.
Akuyena umuntu ofile, cha, othatha umhlalaphansi.
Yithina esixoxayo,
phezu kwesidumbu esibuka buthule.
ithuba lokuqhubeka nokusinda.
Uma enkumbulweni abangasekho siyababona
(imidlalo yesikhathi, isithwebuli se-macabre)
Akuyena-ke umuntu ofile esimbonayo:
Yithina esihlala sidangele
ebona indlela esibukeka ngayo ngaphandle kokwesaba
kulowo obolile ngokuthuthumela okukhulu.
