by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (Translated by Jaime Manrique and Joan Larkin)

    Love opened a mortal wound.

    In agony, I worked the blade

    to make it deeper. Please,

    I begged, let death come quick.

    Wild, distracted, sick,

    I counted, counted

    all the ways love hurt me.

    One life, I thought a thousand deaths.

    Blow after blow, my heart

    couldn't survive this beating.

    Then how can I explain it?

    I came to my senses. I said,

    Why do I suffer? What lover

    ever had so much pleasure?
