“I carry on in this island whipped by typhoons Chained to the sea as the waves Crash against the dam, and I proclaim you. I scream, until hoarse, your beloved name. —José Manuel Cardona, from Birnam Wood (Salmon Poetry, 2018), translated by Hélène Cardona” — José Manuel Cardona, Hélène Cardona
I carry on in this island whipped by typhoons
Chained to the sea as the waves
Crash against the dam, and I proclaim you.
I scream, until hoarse, your beloved name.
—José Manuel Cardona, from Birnam Wood (Salmon Poetry, 2018), translated by Hélène Cardona
