RITUAL
En su bañera mi hijo parece
medio ahogado,
yace tan quieto,
Practica,
en su cama de porcelana,
su descanso,
ensaya
hasta que el agua se enfría
y tiembla un poco contra ella.

RITUAL
In his bath my son looks half,
drowned,
lying so still,
his hair a scarf of weed,
his eyes closed,
and only the water breathing.
He practices
in his porcelain bed
his resting,
rehearsing
until the water takes cold
and he shivers a little against it.
