Poem: The Dream VII
Every time I leave you I keep the splendor of your last gaze is my eyes. And, then, I run to lock myself up, I turn off the lights, I evade all sound so that nothing robs an atom from me of the ethereal substance of your gaze, its infinite sweetness, its limpid diffidence, its delicate rapture. All night long, with the rosy tips of my fingers, I caress the eyes that gazed upon you.
Love Poems by Alfonsina Storni
(Translation by E. Rose)
Original in Spanish:
"Cada vez que te dejo retengo en mis ojos el resplandor de tu última mirada. Y, entonces, corro a encerrarme, apago las luces, evito todo ruido para que nada me robe un átomo de la substancia etérea de tu mirada, su infinita dulzura, su límpida timidez, su fino arrobamiento. Toda la noche, con la yema rosada de los dedos, acaricio los ojos que te miraron".
Alfonsina Storni, Poemas de amor (1926)
