Raúl Gómez Jattin / I have for you my good friend

Raúl Gómez Jattin and Milcíades Arévalo

I HAVE FOR YOU MY GOOD FRIEND
By Raúl Gómez Jattin
Translated from Spanish by Nicolás Suescún

I have for you my good friend
a heart of mango from the Sinú
fragant
genuine
kind and tender
(The rest of me is a wound
a no man’s land
a stone blow
a twinkling of an eye
in someone else’s night
hands that murder ghosts)
And a piece of advice
don’t ever meet me
