XIII Poem by Cesar Vallejo

XIII

Rating: 5.0


I think about your sex.
My heart simplified, I think about your sex,
before the ripe daughterloin of day.
I touch the bud of joy, it is in season.
And an ancient sentiment dies
degenerated into brains.

I think about your sex, furrow more prolific
and harmonious than the belly of the Shadow,
though Death conceives and bears
from God himself.
Oh Conscience,
I am thinking, yes, about the free beast
who takes pleasure where he wants, where he can.

Oh, scandal of the honey of twilights.
Oh mute thunder.

Rednuhtetum!

lii jar (daughterloin) : By adding a silent h to ijar (loin, or flank) , Vallejo strongly evokes hija (daughter) - (Eshleman 2007,629)
