AUTORRETRATO II
Contemplo la carne cruda
de mi invalido rostro
ligamentos de agua
se transforman en
quebradas ramas
que vibran desde la medula
del corazón atormentado
Aparecen mis desorbitados ojos rojos
arañándome con mi bisturí pictórico
reflejo invertido del otro lugar
crecen mis quemadas pestañas
desfigurando mi sonrisa que llora
Cosen mi apariencia
con hilo de barro
la espátula alisa mi superficie
de arena disuelta
las orejas de cobre
son moldeadas en ácido nítrico
Escucho a los pájaros
que salen de mi boca descocida
desde mi roca cabelluda
aumentan los hilos de seda
enredándose en tormentosos
vientos de remordimientos
Grito un silencio palido
mis dientes amarillos
se purifican con el cristalino cielo
me veo completo
en esta plancha de metal
retratado por la luz que me engaña
Me cubro de mis despojos
mi cuerpo me delata
el renacimiento de mis cenizas.
