Alfonsina Storni: ¿Qué Diría? (What Would They Say?)

Alfonsina Storni

(1892-1938)

 

¿Qué Diría?

¿Qué diría la gente, recortada y vacía,
Si un día fortuito, por ultra fantasía,
Me tiñera el cabello de plateado y violeta,
Usara peplo griego, cambiara la peineta
Por cintillo de flores: miosotis o jazmines,
Cantara por las calles al compás de violines,
O dijera mis versos recorriendo las plazas
Libertado mi gusto de vulgares mordazas?

¿Irían a mirarme cubriendo las aceras?
¿Me quemarían como quemaron heciceras?
¿Campanas tocarían para llamar a misa?

En verdad que pensarlo me da un poco de risa.
