A Dialogue of Watching

Este es un poema de Kenneth Rexroth, un escritor estadounidense que siempre estuvo íntimamente ligado a la Contracultura gringa. Este poema dice cosas muy sencillas, pero es genial la manera en la que está escrito.

Let me celebrate you. I

Have never known anyone

More beautiful than you. I

Walking beside you, watching

You move beside me, watching

That still grace of hand and thigh,

Watching your face change with words

You do not say, watching your

Solemn eyes as they turn to me,

Or turn inward, full of knowing,

Slow or quick, watching your full

Lips part and smile or turn grave,

Watching your narrow waist, your

Proud buttocks in their grace, like

A sailing swan, an animal,

Free, your own, and never

To be subjugated, but

Abandoned, as I am to you,

Overhearing your perfect

Speech of motion, of love and

Trust and security as

You feed or play with our children.

I have never known any

One more beautiful than you.
