Fragmento de Song of Myself , de Walt Whitman (EEUU)

Fragmento final del extenso poema Song of Myself del poeta norteamericano Walt Whitman. Esta parte trata sobre como después de la muerte, siguiendo el ciclo de la vida, pasamos a ser abono para la naturaleza, para continuar creando vida. Recomiendo la lectura del poema completo y de las repercusiones que tuvo en su contexto histórico, desde EEUU hasta Latinoamérica y Europa.

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the
runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy
jags.

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the
grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your
boot-soles.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.

Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.
