UNA CARTA DE AMOR
Todo lo que de vos quisiera
es tan poco en el fondo
porque en el fondo es todo
como un perro que pasa, una colina,
esas cosas de nada, cotidianas,
espiga y cabellera y dos terrones,
el olor de tu cuerpo,
lo que decis de cualquier cosa,
conmigo o contra mia,
todo eso que es tan poco
yo lo quiero de vos porque te qiero.
Que mires mas alla de mi,
que me ames con violenta prescindencia
del manana, que el grito
de tu entrenga se estrell
en la cara de un jefe de oficina,
y que el placer que juntos inventamos
sea otro signo de la libertad.
Julio Cortazar
A LOVE LETTER
Everything I'd want from you
is finally so little
because finally it's everything
like a dog going by, or a hill,
those meaningless things, mundane,
wheat spike and long hair and two clods of earth,
the smell of your body,
whatever you say about anything,
with or against me,
all that which is so little
I want from you because I want you.
May you look beyond me,
may you love me with violent disregard
for tomorrow, let the cry
of your coming explode
in the boss's face in some office,
and let the pleasure we invent together
be one more sign of freedom.
