Esperábamos el tiempo, ansiosos por detenerlo. La casa vacía nos recuerda los días en lo que sencillo era no sentirnos. ¿Para qué creerse capaces? Yo no te tengo.
Aquí vamos jugando a los que se entienden. A los que detienen y retienen.
Me olvidas: no estoy.
Me recuerdas: no soy.

Y vuelven a sonar en el cielo los pájaros. Y abrimos el silencio, haciéndonos como muertos: estando más ausentes con la misma presencia.
Yo no te extraño, yo desespero, destruyo y construyo. Yo me vuelvo loca esperando.

Y esperábamos el tiempo, ansiosos por detenerlo….

i have to
      recall
that there’s certain pleasure
in being dominated.

the peaceful desire
of being     no one
but being   everything
to someone.

unknown wise power
the venerability
the     -i am-  
because    -you want me to-

giving the power and knowing somehow that you will be broken
but still

feeling created
as you're being
destroyed
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

— The End —
