Julia de Burgos (1914-1953. Puerto Rico)
(13) To Julia de Burgos --translated by Grace Schulman

The people are saying that I am your enemy,
that in poetry I give you to the world.

They lie, Julia de Burgos. They lie, Julia de Burgos.
The voice that rises in my verses is not your voice: it is my voice;
for you are clothing and I am the essence;
Between us lies the deepest abyss.

You are bloodless doll of social lies,
And I, the virile spark of human truth.

You are the honey of courtly hypocrisy;
Not I--
I bare my heart in all my poems.

You, like your world, are selfish; not I--
I gamble everything to be what I am.

You are only the serious lady. Señora. Doña Julia.
Not I. I am life. I am strength. I am woman.

You belong to your husband, your master. Not I:
I belong to nobody, or to all, for to all, to all
I give myself in my pure feelings and thoughts.

You curl your hair and paint your face. Not I:
I am curled by the wind, painted by the sun.

You are the lady of the house, resigned, submissive,
tied to the bigotry of men. Not I:
I am Rocinante, bolting free, wildly
snuffling the horizons of the justice of God.
