BANGKAY | THE CORPSE | IL CADEVERE

Poem by Rio Alma 3 Bangkay Iniluwa ng dagat and bangkay Pagkaraan ng dalawang oras na unos. Isang katawang pumutla sa asin At namamagâ sa nilagok na alon; Nababálot ang leeg ng lantang baging-dagat, May sihang na talukab ang bunganga At halos lumuwa ang nakatirik na mga matá. Nang matagpuan sa dalampasigan, Sinusuot na ng mapagsaliksik na alupihan At talangkang-bato ang bátas ng ilong at tainga Bagama’t walang mábakás na kasaysayan Sa katawan ang mga nagsisiyasaat na tagabaryo. Marahil, inábot ng sigwa sa laot O naaksidente hábang namamasyal At tinangay ng matuling agos O biktima ng karahasan at itinápon sa dagat. Natagpuan itong nakasampay sa tuod Ng isang anak ng mangingisda At hindi rin matapos ang kaniyang pagtataká Kung paanong inagnas ng dagat Pati pangalan ng bangkay   Il Cadavere Fu sputato dal mare il cadavere Dopo due ore di diluvio. Un corpo reso pallid dal sale E gonfiato pero l’acqua inghiottita; Il collo avvolto di alghe marine appassite; Con il guscio aperto di un granchio nella bocca E gli occhi sporgenti quasi uscivano fuori dale orbite. Quando fu scoperto sulla riva, Centopiedi e paguri curiosi Gia si infilavvano nelle narici e nelle orecchie Cio nonostante il corpo non lascio Nessuna storia per gli investigatori del paesino. Forse si trovo nel mezzo di una tempest in alto mare O di un incidente mentre passeggiava E fu una vittima di violenza, gettata nel mare. Fu scoperto appeso su un legname come dei panni Dal figlio di un pescatore Che non ha mai cessato di chiedersi Come il mare avesse potuto disgregare Pure il nome del cadevere   The Corpse The sea tossed up the corpse After two days of storm. The brine had pickled it white And it was bloated by the waves it had swallowed; Vines of withered seaweed strangled it, A crab shell had plugged its gaping mouth And its eyes were almost out of their sockets. When it was found on the beach, The curious centipede and hermit crab Were exploring the holes of its nose and ears, Though the body itself yielded No story to the inquisitive village folk. Perhaps it got caught in the storm at sea, Or, perhaps in an accident while taking as stroll, It fell and was swept into the swift current; Or it was a victim of foul play. A child of the fisherfolk discovered it Slumped on a limb of a driftwood And he couldn’t fathom how The salt of the seawater Had washed away even its name.
