QUALITATIVE STUDIES IN EDUCATION, 1998, VOL. 12, NO. 2, 269

Autumn

ALEXIS GO; M EZ ROSAtranslated by Kim M attson

The spirit does not wake me ±so pale and so briefsays nothing ±to the poor man’ s clothes, smokeand sky.

The wind is short, brisk,in those steps that stirthe russet leaves,

yellow.Lips part, canoes,syllables of water.

Lips rising, canoesin descent ; in the afternoondissolving the silhouetteof a sailboat,

remains the eddyof a pagan instinct.

Autumn

No me despierta el animal,tan pa! lida y tan breve,no me sõ !, no nada,a un tejido de pobre, cieloy humo.

Viento corto, aleve,en esos pasos que nos regresan,las hojas marrones,

amarillas.Labios suben, canoas,s õ !labas de agua.

Subir de labios,canoas bajan, en la tardeque se arruina en la siluetade un velero,

queda el remolinode un instinto pagano.
