La calle

Es una calle larga y silenciosa. Ando en tinieblas y tropiezo y caigo y me levanto y piso con pies ciegos las piedras mudas y las hojas secas y alguien detrás de mí también las pisa: si me detengo, se detiene; si corro, corre. Vuelvo el rostro: nadie. Todo está oscuro y sin salida, y doy vueltas y vueltas en esquinas que dan siempre a la calle donde nadie me espera ni me sigue, donde yo sigo a un hombre que tropieza y se levanta y dice al verme: nadie.

The Street

A long silent street.I walk in blackness and I stumble and falland rise, and I walk blind, my feetstepping on silent stones and dry leaves.Someone behind me also stepping on stones, leaves:if I slow down, he slows;if I run, he runs. I turn: nobody.Everything dark and doorless. Turning and turning among these cornerswhich lead forever to the streetwhere nobody waits for, nobody follows me,where I pursue a man who stumblesand rises and says when he sees me: nobody.
