RESPONSE
understand me I want you to me without words.
No words to speak, just as we speak my people.
That you understand me without words to me as I understand
sea or air entangled in a poplar green.
ask me, friend, and I do not know what answer I give,
I learned long ago deep reasons that you do not understand. Reveal
like putting in my eyes the invisible sun,
the passion fruit land dora hot.
ask me, friend, and I do not know what answer I give you.
burn a crazy joy I feel in the light that surrounds me.
I wish you the feeling also inundándote soul,
I want you, in the depths, you also burn and smite you. Creature
also want you to be happy,
creature that comes finally to overcome the sadness and death.
Now if I told you that you had to walk
and mourn lost cities in its dark streets feeling weak,
and singing under a tree of your dreams dark summer, and feel
made of air and cloud and very green grass ...
If I told you
now your life is the rock on which the wave breaks,
the flower itself that vibrates and is full of blue under the clear northeast
man who is on the field carrying a torch at night, that child
lashing the sea with his innocent hand ...
If I told you these things, my friend,
what would fire in my mouth, what a hot iron,
what odors, colors, flavors, contacts, sounds?
And how do you know what I mean?
How to get into your soul breaking its ice? How do you feel
forever conquered death? How
deepen your winter, take your night the moon, put on your dark
light blue sadness?
Without words, my friend had to be without words as you understand me.
José Hierro, "Joy" 1947.
