A poem, written by Natalia Toledo, translated…
First…
They’d shaped up the dung
Round like the full moon
They’d carried it over their heads
Like vendors who sold foods on the streets
They are finding the bottommost layer of the world
To store and hide those stuff
As if they’re keeping the dung as
A sacred heirloom
Second…
The fires are made from the land layers of the world
A soft leaf fell asleep in my eyes
My shadows are on a march
Trying to appease to my needle-filled exterior, trembling
I’d found a home in a garden
I’d carried a fly on my back, which made me into half-invisible
I have a palm made of leaves
And, everything salute itself to me
And I’d returned that favor with my rancid scent
Third…
I sat, underneath a shadow
My back is a leaf of corn, tilted downward
Sadness, it’d opened up the land
Like when it was tilled for the purpose of planting
The dust of the world
Ground, in my eyes slowly
The aroma given off by the raindrops
Stayed on the edge of the skies, waiting to fall
Fourth…
The world is darkened
The mud overflowed everywhere, rushed toward the oceans
The bluish green sun came, and it’d wiped the men’s eyes
The land absorbed its moisture from the flowers and the plants
A shake, from its crevasse
Born, the very first man
It says here, that these four poems have a special kind of taste of nature. From the dung beetles, she’d reflected the roles of women in her era, like how the poet carries that natives’ mindset, observing the small insect, and how it’d made her feel.
So, this, is how it goes, from the origins of man, to how we are like the dung beetles, working hard all our lives, and what for? Are our lives more purposeful than those dung beetles, after all, they ARE, lower order of animals, and, all they care about, are their survivals from day to day, and this, is a metaphor for man (human, that is!!!), after all, we all struggle in our daily living, making ends meet, run around the world like headless chickens, and we just don’t realize, how much we are actually like those lower order of species!
