Me he sentado a mitad de la Tierra,
amor mio, a mitad de la vida,
a abrir mis venas y mi pecho,
a mondarme en granada viva,
y a romper la caoba roja
de mis huesos que te querian.
I have sat down in the middle of the Earth,
my love, in the middle of my life,
to open my veins and my chest,
to peel my skin like a pomegranate,
and to break the red mahogany
of these bones that loved you.
~ excerpt taken from the poem “La Abandonada” by Gabriela Mistral

I have sat down in the middle of the Earth,

my love, in the middle of my life,

to open my veins and my chest,

to peel my skin like a pomegranate,

and to break the red mahogany

of these bones that loved you.
