Quotes by Claribel Alegría (?)

“Yo, poeta de oficio, condenada tantas veces”
― Claribel Alegría

“¿Qué buscas?
preguntó.
No sabría decirlo
susurré:
el perdón
la mandala
ese perdón que es mío
y no puedo otorgarme
que camina conmigo
y no viene de fuera
ese perdón arisco
que retumba en mis sienes
que me oprime
y hace brotar las lágrimas
que lavan.”
― Claribel Alegría
