Anne Carson – Breve charla acerca de las truchas

Versión: Isaías Garde

En haiku se usan diversas expresiones

para referirse a la trucha -“trucha de otoño”, “trucha

descendente” y “trucha oxidada” son algunas de las que he escuchado.

“Trucha descendente” y “trucha oxidada” son las truchas

Que ya desovaron. Agotadas, completamente

exhaustas, bajan hasta el mar. Por

supuesto había truchas que, en ocasiones,

pasaban el invierno en pozos profundos. A esas se las llamaba

“truchas remanentes”.

Short Talk on Trout

In haiku there are various sorts of expressions

about trout—“autumn trout” and “descending

trout” and “rusty trout” are some I have heard.

“Descending trout” and “rusty trout” are trout

that have laid their eggs. Worn out, completely

exhausted, they are going down to the sea. Of

course there were occasionally trout that spent

the winter in deep pools. These were called

“remaining trout.”
