[From Colombia's celebrated poet, Raúl Henao of Medellin, here's another poem in Spanish, accompanied by its English translation, both from Raúl's La vida a la carta or Life a la carte.]

DEFINICION

El poeta 

ese hombrecito sudoroso que corre
tras la gente

para soplarle fuego al  oído.  ##

DEFINITION

The poet  

that sweaty little man who runs
behind people

blowing fire into their ears.

(Translated by Philip West)
