To be word - Renato Sandoval

So,
in the word I have
no age, no more nor less,
neither skin nor open bone,
no folds or wrinkles,
no height or smallness,
no depth or surface,
nothing of vastness
or narrowness, even less
a wound or marrow
that resent the firmament.
I am just a glimpse, a gasp,
a breath, hardly a hint
about what will never
be said nor thought.

Renato Sandoval (born 1957) Peru
Translated by Roxana Peramás
