Firefly drifting / Luciérnaga a la deriva

When the fragility
in a timid firefly
bows to the wind,
the day turns pale
and yields aimlessly
drifting in ravings,
lonely of the world
dying uncertain
to the fabric of night,
shivering restlessly
to meet in silence
with the maternal gaze
knotted on her body
into a luminous drift…

Cuando la fragilidad
de una luciérnaga tímida
se postra al viento,
el día se torna pálido
y cede sin rumbo
derivando en desvaríos,
solitario del mundo
agonizando incierto
al tejido de la noche,
temblando sin reposo
para reunirse en silencio
con la mirada materna
anudada en su cuerpo
en una deriva luminosa…
