Untitled 1
Una dent de lleó by Maria Dolors Oliu
Translated into English by Brian Oliu
Clinc e cançó?
Un element per la ment
damunt de paper blanc
més o menys matisat
en forma de passar punts
quedant la basta fluixa
i el gris arrenglerat.
No té un color per a ulls de nina
ni formes grans
amb missatges pensats.
Però potser t’agradarà saber
que tu no hi ets passiu.
Tots dos plegats elaborem la imatge.
Faig un treball I et brindo
el treballar
abans que el contemplar.
Tot queda a duo. El solo no existeix,
vol dir la mort o
potser un son sense somni.
Ring or song?
An element in the mind
on white paper
is more or less qualified
as passing points
leaving us enough slack to
escort in the gray.
It has a color for doll eyes
large
with messages designed.
But maybe you would like to know
you’re not passive.
Together, we will produce the image.
And I will give you a job: some work
you have seen before.
Everything is a duet. The solo does not exist:
instead, it means death or worse--
sleep without dreams.
