Enrique Casaña Díaz (Ciudad Juárez/El Paso)
Estrellas Solitarias (Lone Stars)
Digital poem, experimental scanning
2020
Translation:
Halfway there, not just because the
frontier divides everyone
in half, but because everything
was left pending.
Half of the head hurts
Half of the book read
Half of the groceries bought
Half of the tasks undone
Half days and half nights
a foot in this room and one in the other
one eye keeps on looking yesterday what
I’m going to do tomorrow
and the now stays empty
because it didn’t know where to go
I’m not sure if in the end
I’ll wanna go out.
