MANUS/ [Esp-Eng]

MANUS

Abiertas para dar, recibir, quitar o arrojar
cerradas: empuñan, golpean.


Construyen, destruyen
acarician, sostienen
se juntan para orar, solicitan bendiciones.

Algunas buenas, otras ni tanto
unas sanan y acarician
lastiman o dañan.

Alzadas en señal de aprobación
protesta o protección
una desconoce lo hecho por otra
como muestra de lealtad y afecto
se posan sobre el fuego o corazón.

Suaves, las de mi madre
las de mi padre rudas
ávidas y temblorosas las mías
¿Y qué será de las tuyas?

MANUS


Open to give, receive, take away, or throw
closed: wield, strike.

Build, destroy
caress, sustain
gather to pray, ask for blessings.

Some good, some not so good
some heal and caress
some hurt or harm.

Raised as a sign of approval
protest or protection
one is unaware of what has been done by another
as a token of loyalty and affection
they rest on the fire or heart.

Soft, those of my mother
my father's rough
greedy and trembling, mine...
And what will become of yours?
