Full moon: The Pi Moon

-

-------------La luna Pi


Imagino el disco de la luna llena
horadado en el centro,
Pi de la China más antigua
labrado de jade blanco
-----o de concha nácar
colgado en el pecho de la noche.

Te lo daría
como recuerdo del cosmos
del cual formas parte,
para protegerte
-----de la indiferencia,
de la ceguera de lo cotidiano,
para despertar en ti
-----al niño, la niña
que has abrumado
-----con tantas necedades.

------------The Pi Moon


I imagine the disc of the full moon
bored in its center,
Pi of most ancient China
carved of white jade
-----or mother-of-pearl
hung on the breast of the night

I would give it to you
as reminder of the cosmos
of which you are a part,
to protect you
-----from indifference,
from the blindness of the everyday,
to wake in you
-----the child
you have oppressed
-----with so much foolishness.
