“The Suicide
Not a single star will be left in the night.
The night will not be left.
I will die and, with me,
the weight of the intolerable universe.
I shall erase the pyramids, the medallions,
the continents and faces.
I shall erase the accumulated past.
I shall make dust of history, dust of dust.
Now I am looking on the final sunset.
I am hearing the last bird.
I bequeath nothingness to no one.”
― Selected Poems

“In a thousand years nothing will be left
of all that’s been written this century.
They’ll read loose sentences, traces
of lost women,
fragments of motionless children,
your slow green eyes
simply will not exist.
It will be like the Greek Anthology,
but even further away,
like a beach in winter
for another wonder, another indifference.
Dentro de mil años no quedará nada
de cuanto se ha escrito en este siglo.
Leerán frases sueltas, huellas
e mujeres perdidas,
fragmentos de niños inmóviles,
tus ojos lentos y verdes>
simplemente no existirán.
Será como la Antología Griega,
aún más distante,
como una playa en invierno
para otro asombro y otra indiferencia.”
