Joaquín Carrasco Cofré, translated by Jessica Sequeira
Solitude
When I look in the mirror
I see my reflection
When I look in the mirror
I see what I am and am not
When I look in the mirror
I see the dark side of the sun
When I look in the mirror
I don’t see the radiance of shadow
When I look out the window
I see what I don’t have
When I look out the window
I see what I want and cannot
When I look out the window
I see what I need and envy
When I look out the door
I see my fear and longing
When I look out the door
I see my fear and longing
When I look out the door
I see what I must
but don’t dare.
