the sighthound
from espèce
Translated by Nathanaël
[ Note: “The sighthound” is inscribed in the “animales” series, the title of which can be read as the feminine plural form of the noun animal or its corresponding adjective. ]
it is not the she-wolf that engendered her
it’s the bitch
dog cão cane perro
it’s short easy to pronounce
to speak of it’s more complicated
some languages ignore the female
in her language it isn’t like that
together we traveled a lot
in trains in boats buses
to approach her it was enough to pronounce
2 syllables
without an attempt at translation without fear of
being bitten
she lay down with sirius
at the end of the month of august
the desert isn’t so far
