Acabo

Acabo

I just woke up and I want to sleep

I just ate and I'm already hungry

I have forgotten how to speak and now I can only write

with these hands that no longer greet, and much less embrace

I was just born and I already want to die.


Me acabo de levantar y ya quiero dormir.

Acabo de comer y ya tengo hambre.

Se me ha olvidado hablar y ahora solo puedo escribir, con estas manos que ya no saludan y muchos menos abrazan.

Acabo de nacer y ya me quiero morir.
