full moon: The Minotaur Gazes at the Moon

-

El Minotauro contempla la luna


El Minotauro,
rey estelar,
desde su laberinto
contempla la luna llena
prisionero perdido
en cada rincón
y corredor sin salida
de su mundo torcido
por herencia y destino.
Sueña con campos
cubiertos de hierba y de flores
bajo cielos de nubes y soles.
Le pesan los cuernos
y en tristeza y rabia
se roe el corazón.

Indiferente la luna
con luz débil alumbra
los recintos oscuros
de su cárcel y hogar.
Desde su laberinto
el Minotauro
contempla la luna

The Minotaur Gazes at the Moon


The Minotaur,
starry king,
from his labyrinth
gazes at the full moon,
lost prisoner
in each corner
& dead-end
of his world twisted
by heritage & fate.
He dreams of fields
covered with grass & flowers
under skies of clouds & suns.
The horns weigh on him
& in grief & rage
he gnaws at his heart.

Indifferent the moon
with weak light illumines
the dark precincts
of his jail & home.
From his labyrinth
the Minotaur
gazes at the moon.
