I ASK FOR LIGHT IN THE FERVOR AND THE DRIFT

The word branches out As a creeper

The spell that sustains us dies on the tip of the tongue

Balances wear out for a while hands full

The lights dim and devour in the room of thirst

The cherry tree houses the sparrows

A gramophone makes you hear Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony

In the meantime and letting the moments go by …

I ask for light as a symbol of my audacity

I ask for light, when I look at your eyes

and I see the eternity that begins to anticipate,

lying face of desire

I ask for light in fervor and drift

Soul and shadow that overflow like flight
