Luz oscura


No levantes tu cabeza

todavía

Déjala reposar sobre

la luna

Deja que tu cuerpo desnudo

se vista con la noche

Deja que la oscuridad

de tu vientre

Ilumine el universo …






Muerte nocturna

Camino caminando los

pasos de tus huellas

Toco el viento con el

tacto de tu boca

Respiro a muerte en

cada palabra escrita

Bebo el vaso pleno

de tu ausencia

Vivo día a día una

muerte nueva

Muero noche a noche en

cada verso recién nacido …
