1—Walking in the Snow
(New Years Day—2006)

The winter wind whistles, harmoniously
with happy snowdrifts, miles long—
and my shoes, like car tires
grip the ground—, they chop through away the whiteness.

The day is calm. No birds fly
across the sky. Hercules
is asleep. It must be this snow
we need to balance our equilibrium, this snow: calm, white and cold.

Dedicated to my goddaughter, Ximena Herrera Peñaloza 1/2/2006 [#1053]

Note by the author: “on my way to the bookstore today, in Roseville, Minnesota (New Year’s Day), my wife was expressing how beautiful the trees were, all laced with white snow from the night before, from the tip, to each branch to their toes.”

In Spanish

Caminando en la Nieve
(Nuevo Año—2006)

El viento de invierno silva, armoniosamente
con cúmulos de nieve felices, largas milla—
y mis zapatos, como neumáticos de coche
agarran el suelo—, ellos cortan de lejos la blancura.

El día es tranquilo. Ningún pájaro vuela
a través del cielo. Hércules
está dormido. Esto debe ser esta nieve
necesitamos balancear nuestro equilibrio,
esta nieve: tranquila, blanca y fría.

Dedicado a mi ahijada, Ximena Herrera Peñaloza 1/Enero/2006 [# 1053]

Nota por el autor: “En mi camino a la librería hoy, en Roseville, Minnesota (el Día de Año nuevo), mi esposa expresaba qué hermosos eran los árboles, todo encajados con la nieve blanca de la noche anterior, desde la punta, a cada rama, hasta abajo”.

2—After a Long Day


I start out reading and writing each day
at my computer, then end up at the café
and back to my house again—between
three to ten hours a day, sometimes I see
the moon before I see the afternoon sun
plowing through the foliage of words and books, papers and napkins.

Suppose my house was to burn down?
And the café locked its doors up tight?
Everyday I do not read or write I weather away!...

3—Sleepy Winter Wife

Each night the first face I see sleeping

Is my wife’s— I have decided to leave her sleep in the sofa

Chair—by the warm cozy fire. She often peeks to see if I’m still there

Busy writing or reading, by my computer. Then she falls back into her deep sleep again.

Like a little fussy bear, hibernating…

I can’t complain much, I’ve been blessed; Thus, I check out the house at midnight,

Wake her up, and like a train, coo coo to bed.

Esposa Soñolienta en Invierno (Nuevo Año—2006)

Cada noche la primera cara que veo dormida

Es el de mi esposa— He decidido dejarla dormir en el sofá

—por el fuego caliente acogedor. Ella a menudo echa una ojeada para ver si estoy todavía allí

Ocupado escribiendo o leyendo, por mi computadora. Después ella vuelve a su sueño profundo otra vez.

Como un pequeño oso quisquilloso, invernando…

No puedo quejarme mucho, he sido bendecido; Así, chequeo la casa en la medianoche,

La despierto, y como un tren, caminamos hacia la cama.
