Los Andes

A Poem by Leo
"

A poem about Santiago, Chile, where I live.

"

Los Andes


the icy andes breathes down our neck

here in the city of sorrow, the city of joy


la cordillera tan lejos, tan cerca, masiva, pasiva,

un rey absoluto con una corona de hielo


we scurry hither and thither like disturbed ants

accomplishing very little, if anything


mientras el rey, los andes, da golpecitos en las espaldas

de los santiaguinos, sus niños, para que se porten bien


but the people don´t listen, they turn up their collars

 and hurry about their dying business
