Erica Jong. You Are There*

Tú Estás Ahí

Tú estás ahí.
Tú siempre has estado
ahí.
Incluso cuando pensabas
que estabas ascendiendo
ya habías llegado.
Incluso cuando estabas
respirando fuerte,
estabas en reposo.
Incluso entonces estaba claro
tú estabas ahí.

No está en nuestra naturaleza
saber qué
es viaje y qué
llegada.
Incluso si lo supiéramos
no lo admitiríamos.
Incluso si vivimos
queremos pensar
que sólo estamos
germinando.

Vivir es ser
incierto.
La certeza viene
al final.



You Are There

You are there.
You have always been
there.
Even when you thought
you were climbing
you had already arrived.
Even when you were
breathing hard,
you were at rest.
Even then it was clear
you were there.

Not in our nature
to know what
is journey and what
arrival.
Even if we knew
we would not admit.
Even if we lived
we would think
we were just
germinating.

To live is to be
uncertain.
Certainty comes
at the end.


De "Love Come First"
