Slides over the bodies reflected in the glass,
Shipwrecked in the bottom of a coffee,
Where the sun goes out.

WEATHER SHINES IN THE RAIN
Slides over the bodies reflected in the glass,
Shipwrecked in the bottom of a coffee,
Where the sun goes out.
They slide over the eyes
Storms of blue and I
Tattered sail adrift.
Currents push me
To the seas beyond,
Where I look for a flower
In the depths.
***
YOU ARE NIGHT AND SILENCE
Shiver of shadow,
Water on the word, on the incandescence
Of the rhythm. You are doubt, a worm in the mind,
Fracture, segment, limit that the vision
Prevents the beyond. I pick flowers of light
In your eyes, dawns on my anxieties,
Echoes of other lives: memory and oblivion
They alternate, in secret saps and buds.
I am a night rose
In your hands…
***
YOUR NIGHT INVADES ME
I’m a waiting tide
Of the full moon.
The wave washes away
Memory rocks
Like the light of doubt
The reason.
Free the word
From the point
Of the brief illusion.
We get lost
In the unbridgeable
Distance
Of hands
That touch each other.
