1) Doa Leonor's Revenge
[1627 AD]
Rafael Ortiz's fate
Was on the plate
Of Doa Leonor's
When she arrived
In Lima, Peru;
To taste revenge
For the beheading
Of her husband.
And so the plot
?was now played out
(in an alleyway)
As she gutted her trout!
In Spanish
Translated by Nancy Penaloza
La leyenda de:
La venganza de doa Leonor
(1627 despus de cristo)
El destino de Rafael Ortiz
Estaba sobre el plato
De doa Leonor.
Cuando ella lleg
A Lima Per;
Para saborear la venganza
Por la decapitacin
De su esposo.
Y entonces el complot
Fue llevado a su fin ahora
(En un callejn)
Como ella destrip su trucha!
2) The Old Moon
The winds, the winds-moments pass
Pass into years, years and more years
And the moon continues to make light
Upon me, with eerie fearless nights?
Under its passing shadows at twilight
She stands alone, looking into my eyes;
At dusk, we linger on, down the path
Like live sphinxes?she follows me:
Looking, looking down, down at me?.
There is a time between now and then
I call it forever?and soon?
But that's between me and you-
Me, and you and the twilight moon.
She has her secret eyes you know
Blinking across sky and meadow
Passing, passing soundlessly?by?
Blinking across meadow and sky!...

Spanish Version
La Luna Vieja
[The Old Moon]
Los vientos, los vientos-momentos pasan
Pasan convirtindose en aos, aos y ms aos
Y la luna contina produciendo luz
Sobre mi y espeluznantes noches intrpidas?
Bajo sus pasajeras sombras en el crepsculo
Ella est sola, mirando en mis ojos;
Al anochecer, nos rezagamos, a lo largo del camino
Como una esfinge viva?ella me sigue:
Mirando, mirando abajo, mirndome a m?
Hay un tiempo entre ahora y entonces
Llamo a esto para siempre?y pronto?
Pero esto es entre mi y t-
3) Common Sides [English Versin]
Youth has its age
And age its pride;
One thinks he knows
The other thinks why;
But youth and age
With separate ties-
Have common sides:
life, death, and quest,
And a hope chest
That never rests.

Lados Comunes
La juventud tiene su edad
Y edad su orgullo;
Uno piensa que l sabe,
El otro piensa por qu;
Pero la juventud y la edad
Con lazos separados -
Tienen lados comunes:
La vida, la muerte, y la bsqueda,
Y una esperanza en el pecho
Estos nunca descansan.
