Normas
I.
Norma de ayer encontrada
sobre mi noche presente;
resplandor adolescente
que se opone a la nevada.
No pueden darte posada
mis dos niñas de sigilo,
morenas de luna en vilo
con el corazón abierto;
pero mi amor busca el huerto
donde no muere tu estilo.
II.
Norma de seno y cadera
baja la rama tendida;
antigua y muy bien nacida
virtud de la primavera.
Ya mi desnudo quisiera
ser dalia de tu destino,
abeja, rumor o vino
de tu número y locura;
pero mi amor busca pura
locura de brisa y trino.
Laws
1.
The law of the past encountered
in my present night.
Splendour of adolescence
that opposes snowfall.
My two children of secrecy
cannot yield you a place,
dark-haired moon-girls of air
with exposed hearts.
But my love seeks the garden
where your spirit does not die.
2.
Law of hip and breast
under the outstretched branch,
ancient and newly born
power of the Spring.
Now, bee, my nakedness wants
to be the dahlia of your fate,
the murmur or wine
of your madness and number:
but my love looks for the pure
madness of breeze and warbling.
