MARIA NEGRONI from Mouth of Hell Sucede sin aviso el ajetreo verbal:de pronto,alzando vuelo comoun ave heráldica,el misterio empenachado en su sombra.Y,ental aquelarre de fasto y pobreza,como si el pasado perdonase a loshombres,una presencia de plata:un punado de cantos para medirel camino que va de las armas al alma.Todos ellos en fila,geometriaindeleble,como naves felices dispuestas para el gran viaje. A rush of words comes unannounced:all at once,jacked up intoflight like a heraldic bird,mystery plumed by shadow.And even inthis pandemonium of pomp and poverty,as if the past pardonedmen,a silver presence:a fistful of cantos to measure the span fromsword to soul.All lined up,an indelible geometry,like lightsomeships set for the great journey.
