In memory of the beloved Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik, who committed suicide on September 25, 1972, I published on this platform a post that you can see here. Remembering her again, I wrote the following poetic exercise.

Como ángel de la noche,
Alejandra Pizarnik nos visita
con su tersa palabra
abrigada de nada y de luz.

“Vendrá la muerte y tendrá tus ojos”,
un verso dedicado a ti
sin saberlo,
mi semejante, mi hermana,
pudo haber dicho Pavese.

Tu mirada en el umbral
de la soledad, con color de ansiedad,
con olor de lila,
como si fueras flor
para el acompañante insomnio.

Terrible ángel de la vida
y del sueño sin despertar,
con alas de silencio,
y noche de seconal.

As an angel of the night,
Alejandra Pizarnik visits us
with her smooth words
sheltered by nothingness and light.

"Death will come and will have your eyes",
a verse dedicated to you
without knowing it,
my fellow man, my sister,
Pavese might have said.

Your gaze on the threshold
of loneliness, with the color of anxiety,
with the scent of lilac,
as if you were a flower
for the accompanying insomnia.

Terrible angel of life
and of the dream without awakening,
with wings of silence,
and night of seconal.
