--------Miércoles de Ceniza
De la iglesia daltoniana
dándole un dedo al cielo
con resaca,
vienen los devotos
con símbolos de estado
en las frentes.
Las nubes derraman lenguas de agua
en calles que no llevan a nada.
Un carro se ahoga —
un gorrión cae —
nadie realmente cree en la muerte.

------Ash Wednesday
From the color-blind church
thrusting a finger to a sky
with a hangover,
the worshippers come
bearing celestial status-symbols
on their foreheads.
Clouds spill water tongues
on streets leading to nowhere.
A car chokes —
a sparrow falls —
no one really believes in death
