Naces con los poemas precisos/You are born with the precise

 Naces con los poemas precisos,

necesarios, diría,

ni uno más, ni uno menos,

quizás contados con los dedos

de una mano.

Todo lo demás,

son ejercicios ilusorios

de la palabra.

Rolando Gabrielli2025

You are born with the precise,

necessary poems, I’d say,

not one more, not one less,

perhaps counted

on the fingers

of one hand.

Everything else

is an illusory exercise

in words.
