domestic space

Who am I?

I search for my shadow, in the brilliant light
seeing myself, I shudder
and in the silence, I hear
your heart.

In the Sun’s beard
my dreams ignite
in the upper-world colorful ashes
envelop me until night falls.

The mountains’ power
abandons me, callously
with salt-heavy tears
I wash away the trace
of my ephemeral path

Yet my delight is unbounded
dancing, lingering…

So now do you know
who I am?

Apachita

Pichinkupa takinta
mana uyarispa
rikchariyta chiqnini.
Ñawiyki mana k’anchaptin,
chilliku mana takiptin,
¿imapaqmi kawsayman?

Manam apachita
ñanniykipi kanichu.
Chusaqpi manam imaypas
ñuqapa kawaqchu.

Kuyakuq miski asnayki
hap’iwaptinpas.
Much’aykikuna k’añawaptinpas
manam imaypas qampa kasaqchu
