Campo Alegre re-printed
Under the houses on stilt
That has no sewers
And built for whores
To service sailors in Curacao
A barren island
In the Caribbean Sea
Pigs live under houses
Grew big and ugly
When one is slaughtered
The meat tastes of a drunk
Seamen’s vomit
And cheap perfume
That hides
The grotesque sex
In the name of need

Campo
Aos sábados,
como todos
os dias,
estamos
no campo,
respondemos
a perguntas,
estamos aqui;
nunca nos
incomodamos;
sempre
faremos com
que seu sábado
e os outros dias,
sempre seja
um bom dia
de fazer
com pouco
mais e mais.

Under the houses on stilt
That has no sewers
And built for whores
To service sailors in Curacao
A dry barren island

Pigs live under the houses
Grew big and ugly
When one is slaughtered
The meat tastes of drunk
Seamen’s vomit
And cheap perfume
That hides
The grotesque sex

You, Czeslaw,
like a brook of the earth,
welling up to the skies and more,
swelling up even to the sun and the stars
and all unknown, uncounted galaxies
and more, more than we can yet know
or ever will, till in timeless space
we dwell in a place where
our tears mingle with your own,
making of themselves and all
their visions and their dreams,
one endless, downpouring stream,
breaking through both time and space,
cleansing, clearing perhaps one small part
of one small heart of the human tendency
to be a living witness of evil, and not care.

El Campo
Campo: terreno extenso fuera de poblado. Tierra laborable campiña. Sembrados, árboles
y demás cultivas. Terrenos contiguos a una población.
Caminando por el campo
Me encontré una piedrita
Tropezando me di cuenta
Que era hermosa y bien bonita
La agarre y me senté
Las lágrimas llegaron
Me dijo la piedrita
“tan lindo tu llorar, como mi campo”
De pronto me enderece
Y me di cuenta
Que la piedrita era
Mi vida
Una gema en esta tierra.
