Cara de mazorca

Cob leaves,
what do they harbor?
They look enlarged,
as if they were guarding a giant.

Un hongo Shiitake se acerca,
trata de ver que hay entre ellas,
un pedacito de mazorca encuentra,
y decide darle vida de grata manera.

A Shiitake mushroom is approaching,
tries to see what's among them,
a little piece of corncob it finds,
and decides to bring it to life in a pleasant way.

Arregla la cabeza,
un cuerpo encuentra,
y cuando está terminado,
lo deja donde lo había encontrado.

The fungus fixes the head,
a body finds,
and when it's finished,
he leaves it where he found it.

Y ahí se queda,
hasta que un día la vida llega,
se levanta sin pena,
el nuevo ser de mirada tierna,
con cabeza de mazorca fresca.

And there it stays,
until one day life comes,
it rises without sorrow,
the new being with a tender look,
with the head of a fresh ear of corn.
