Lauren Mendinueta / The Years Pass Thus


THE YEARS PASS THUS
DOS POEMAS
By Lauren Mendinueta
BIOGRAPHY

The years pass
and though life accuses me of immobility
I have also traveled.
Like a particle of dust
I have fluttered through the house
and taken root on the books.
Like an insect I have rested on the banks of ditches,
or I have simply been a woman
who has looked out to sea
from afternoon to afternoon
searching for boats, forgotten by the fog,
which return to memory,
without any hope
aside from death.
