Two Poems

I dream of classifying

I had dream of classifying
Good and Evil, the same way scientist
classify butterflies:

I had dream to pin Good and Evil
in the dark velvet
of the glass display case

Under the white butterfly
a label that will read The Good.
under the black butterfly,
a label that will read The Evil.

But the white butterfly
was not the good, neither the black butterfly
was the evil And between my two butterflies,
green, golden and infinite all the earth butterflies fly.
If you love me, love me whole
If you love me, love me whole
not by zones of light or shadow
if you love me, love me black
and white, and gray and green and blond,
and mixed
love me day,
love me night
and in the morning with the open window!
If you love me, dont break me in pieces:
love me whole Or do not love me at all.

Dos Poemas

YO SOABA EN CLASIFICAR...
Yo soaba en clasificar
el Bien y el Mal, como los sabios
clasifican las mariposas:
Yo soaba en clavar el Bien y el Mal
en el obscuro terciopelo
de una vitrina de cristal...
Debajo de la mariposa
blanca, un letrero que dijera: "EL BIEN".
Debajo de la mariposa
negra, un letrero que dijera: "EL MAL".
Pero la mariposa blanca
no era el bien, ni la mariposa negra
era el mal... Y entre mis dos mariposas,
volaban verdes, ureas, infinitas,
todas las mariposas de la tierra!...
SI ME QUIERES, QUIREME ENTERA
Si me quieres, quireme entera,
no por zonas de luz o sombra...
Si me quieres, quireme negra
y blanca. Y gris, y verde, y rubia,
y morena...
Quireme da,
quireme noche...
Y madrugada en la ventana abierta!
Si me quieres, no me recortes:
Quireme toda... O no me quieras!
