Example of some of Mariana's poems translated into English:
The secret of the Universe is in the dead.
That is why they don't come back,
they would be indiscreet.
----
Between my brain and my hands
theories exist. Between God and men
a constant mistrust.
----
When God was
folding the sky
to put it away,
angels hurried
and helped,
they were tired
of holding it.
----
The hours are my friends,
when they visit and wake me up.
But when they keep quiet
and talk to me of the eternal
what wickedness is in their tongues
that makes me sleep.
