Two from the Amaru
Translation by A Schelling
When my heart leaps at
a sight of her
and I devise a thousand ways to claim her--
when desire flares and the
messenger girl
bring explicit descriptions--
wo could imagine the ecstasies
of a single quick night?
I walk the oxcart path
outside her house and obtain the
fiercest pleasure.
.....
Half mad with desire a young
woman raised her
leaf-soft foot--
anklet and cochineal tattoos--
and kicks him for some offense.
Thus is a man claimed
by the god with the crocodile banner,
the holy
god of love.
