Crossing
be you
the stray who returns
into the mist
of our bodies.
Ignition
I wonder if you’re touching the sky now
as I extend my sight to these mountains
what part of space
will be created with your presence?
What ocean will I cross
to incinerate you slowly?
Prophecy
Your body dissolves things
to announce a moan
or remote end of the night
that no longer hides anything
not even a new way
of shivering
Estrangement
You look at me as if I were your fetish
you touch me when we’re alone
I am nothing of that
nor the shadow of our own steps.
Secrets
The mirror projects two lovers at the edge of the night
the itinerary of its own history is broken
They don’t sleep because they know how to distinguish whispers
that fly by and saturate the air
of people looking through the keyhole
and are suddenly reflected in a pool
It is not true to say that these bodies look at each other
it would be better to sketch the moment
when they intersect with the dark
but aligned as they were they knew how to possess themselves
and stood out against the background of shadows
of a white that was dreamed at night
and he did not even stop to contemplate the stars
but if he looked at himself naked
except when she unbuttoned her dress.
