YOUR FACE

In the evening,

in the restless garden of this body,

your fingers pluck the young flowerbeds,

which under those messengers of light

like fireflies lit up.

I trembled and whispered:

The brightest star in the night sky,

I longed for the darkness just so I could

saw your bright face!

The starry sky is the greatest mystery,

and you, Sirius, are my love verse

sent by God.
