Sign/Signo
By Aurora Matilde Humarán
You are made up of an infinity
Of gestures, of words, of moments.
You are the sum of yesterday, today and tomorrow
That the Master diligently corrects.
You are everything indivisible and unfathomable,
But if something fails, balance stumbles.
You are a mortal picture that the Artist hung
Together with millions of other pictures on Earth’s wall.
You are a collage of worlds
Made to intrigue the curious
And a sign that shouts, without knowing it,
That behind all of this, there is something more beautiful.
Te forma una infinidad
de gestos, de palabras, de momentos.
Sos la suma de ayer, hoy y mañana
que corrige, diligente, el Maestro.
Sos un todo indivisible e incomprensible,
pero si algo falla, el equilibrio tropieza.
Sos un cuadro mortal que el Artista colgó
junto a millones de cuadros en la pared de la tierra.
Sos un collage de mundos
hecho para intrigar a los curiosos
y un signo que grita, sin saberlo,
que detrás de todo esto, hay algo más hermoso.
