The Train, its Wailing
Ñawinchay, mayqin simipi:
Runasimi
castellano
I hear the wailing, the train
approaches from far away
honeyed dreams
tormented
carrying me instead to
serpentine, scabrous tracks
Deep in the night, the wailing
vanishes
only the song of the river who speaks
with her seething lashes
like blows that fall upon the soul
come to whisper, relating plunges foretold
Like the very cries of Time
I hear the echoes, the breaths
of my affliction
I search for a path to take flight
to cast off these fetters,
tying me to the void.
Where might I find a love
to hold me fast?

Meet The Author
Who am I?
I search for my shadow, in the brilliant light
seeing myself, I shudder
and in the silence, I hear
your heart.
In the Sun’s beard
my dreams ignite
in the upper-world colorful ashes
envelop me until night falls.
The mountains’ power
abandons me, callously
with salt-heavy tears
I wash away the trace
of my ephemeral path
Yet my delight is unbounded
dancing, lingering…
So now do you know
who I am?

Simi
My words cannot conjure the things you do
my idle tongue
writes towards a vanishing
My words cannot enclose all that you are
a trembling of thorns
absolutes exist nowhere
My words are no match for your retreat
give voice to my affliction
say fire
Invocación de Aqaymarka Apu
Aqaymarka Apu
qampa runallaykim kani.
Qampam kay sara
kay chaki-taklla.
Tulluypas qampapunim…
Chaskiykullaway.
Aqaymarca Apu
sabes bien
son tuyos el maíz, el arado,
son tuyos también mis huesos.
Acógelos…
Más allá de la plaza y los danzantes
un ebrio, tendido sobre la vereda,
balbucea lamentos:
Ñuqas kani mayu rumi
qaqamanta urmaykamuq
mana mamayuq mana taytayuq
solitito kay mundupi.
Pletórico de guisos y ají amarillo
el alcohol asciende hacia la cumbre del Aqaymarca.
En la parte posterior
maíz fresco en verdes andenes.
Canta endechas de amor el Yanamayo
no fúlgidas maromas de oro sino de plata.
Dicen que las huestes de Atahuallpa
arrojaron sobre estas aguas el cadáver de Huáscar Inca.
