Written five years ago on the eve of the U. S. invasion of Iraq, a night of the full moon.
Moon Chased by Dogs
The full moon comes
through my window;
her white skirts
fill the room.
I am chased by the dogs,
she says. Look,
look how they have
shredded my skirts;
there is a pack
of mad dogs
let loose in the world.
I am afraid that tomorrow
my skirts will be stained
red with blood.
There are mad dogs
let loose in the world.

Escrito hace cinco años en víspera de la invasión estadounidense de Irak, noche de luna plena.
Luna perseguida por perros
La luna plena entra
por mi ventana;
sus enaguas blancas
llenan el cuarto.
Me persiguen los perros -
dice - Mira,
mira como me han
desgarrado las faldas;
hay una bola
de perros enloquecidos
sueltos en el mundo.
Temo que mañana
mis enaguas se tiñan
rojas de sangre.
Hay perros rabiosos
sueltos en el mundo.
