de Louise Glück
Hace mucho, estaba herida. Vivía
para vengarme
de mi padre, no
por lo que él era...
por lo que yo era: desde el principio del tiempo,
en la infancia, pensé
que el dolor significaba que no era amada.
Significaba que yo amaba.
Del libro Ararat

First Memory, by Louise Glück
Long ago, I was wounded. I lived
to revenge myself
against my father, not
for what he was-
for what I was: from the beginning of time,
in childhood, I thought
that pain meant I was not loved.
It meant I loved.
From Ararat (Ecco Press, 2009)
