The Desert Of Atacama Vi Poem by Raúl Zurita

The Desert Of Atacama Vi



Arid plains do not dream
No one has ever managed to see
Those chimerical pampas

i. The landscapes are convergent and divergent in the
Desert of Atacama

ii. Over the convergent and divergent landscape Chile
is convergent and divergent in the Desert of Atacama

iii. That's why what's there never was there and if it
were to stay where it is it would see its own life turn
around until being the chimerical plains deserted
enlightened fading away like them

iv. And when the convergent and divergent landscapes
of the Desert of Atacama unfold themselves
all of Chile will have been the life beyond because
unlike Atacama they are already extending themselves
like a dream the deserts of our own chimera
over there in these plains of hell
