Laberinto Vidrio

A poem by René Berta, translated from Spanish

Laberinto Vidrio (Glass Labyrinth)

I am not always acquainted with the weeks
I sometimes forget
the structures by which we perceive change
That stand around us like a glass labyrinth
Deceitfully difficult to navigate
Study the maps
But it is impossible to know the terrain
the path falsely evident
a journey with no return
