My soul shattered with the strain of trying to belong to earth— What will you do, when it is your turn in the field with the god?

Realmente no sé que debo esperar de ti,
no sé si debo rendirme y dejarte ir,
a pesar de que mi corazón se pueda partir...
Tus actitudes dejan mucho que decir,
tus palabras solo llenan de melancolía mi alma,
no eres capaz de decirme la verdad,
de hablar con honestidad,
últimamente huyes cuando llega la adversidad...
Ante tu falta de valor,
no puedo evitar pensar en el,
aunque sé que no debería,
el me dañó,
pero también tuvo el valor
de adentrarse al infierno
cuando las puertas se abrieron.

Summer after summer has ended, balm after violence: it does me no good to be good to me now; violence has changed me. Daybreak. The low hills shine ochre and fire, even the fields shine. I know what I see; sun that could be the August sun, returning everything that was taken away — You hear this voice? This is my mind's voice; you can't touch my body now. It has changed once, it has hardened, don't ask it to respond again.
Louise Glück, from October in “Averno”
