Almost An Epiphany by Pedro Arturo Estrada

A moment this side of fear:
freshness, the shining of life all around.
Sudden invitation or temptation open in the deep.
Final and instantaneous urgency
to understand as a triumph the immediacy of the body,
the senses, when the irremediable goes on
and any one of the faces marching towards the void
is ours.

translation: Laura Chalar
