SHADOW TO SHADOW
by Paul Auster

Against the facade of evening:
shadows, fire and silence.
not even silence, but its fire–
the shadow
cast by a breath.
To enter the silence of this wall,
I must leave myself behind.

Paul Auster
DE SOMBRA A SOMBRA

Contra la fachada del atardecer:
sombras, fuego y silencio.
Ni siquiera silencio, sino su fuego,
la sombra
que arroja un respirar.
Para entrar en el silencio de este muro
Debo dejarme atrás a mí mismo.
