Amber
Moon
Slowly,
As
in a game of chess
The
Queen will threaten the King.
On
the altar rises
The
amber moon.
A
candle is consumed
On
the marrow of an existence
Without
eternity.
Bios
I
have gone
Under
your blankets,
Opening
roads
Beyond
the sea
To
look for life.
You
have exploded
As
early spring
Giving
me your belly,
Arching
your flesh,
Your
flesh that will give strength
To
other flesh.
The
flower is there,
With
its roots,
They
will grow to get wet
With
your colour,
To
shout
Their
head off to the world.
Origin
Who
knows if you hear this murmur
That
moves the stars and the seas
And
mitigate the doors of time,
That
greedy and ruthless
Thickens
the black and silver of the world.
I
wonder if you listen to the fertile song of the Universe
When
he opens his forces
And
let the beauty of dawn in bloom breathe
Generating
love naked and carefree
Of
ravenous sparrows and delirious lovers.
I
wonder if all this is a dream
Or
it's life that calls you by name,
Resounding
its echo
In
the fugitive and sylvan air,
Crossing
rivers and seasons,
Molding
wine and blood
In
the evanescence of a light
That
becomes dance and sound
And
becomes body and face.
It
is the origin; that's life.
It
is you.
