La poeta Silvia Plath
antes de morir
escribio hasta dos poemas por dia.
Yo, que escribio un poema por ano,
puedo imaginar como
su leche fue derramandose
fuera de su cuerpo:
un vaso tras otro,
un cme3. tras otro
hasta que se vecio.
Elisha Porat

Elisha Porat / The Poetess, before her death

The Poetess, Sylvia Plath
before her death
wrote two poems each day.
I, who wrote one poem a year
cann imagine how
her milk gushed from her body
cup after cup
cm. after cm.
until she was empty.
