English

SUDDENLY BUT IT HAS BEEN A LONG WAIT…

the embrace

leaves his eyes with two drops

waves of a serene sea

ships within lost into the horizon

in search of the belt he traded

for a slice of bread

along with

his disgraced brother Ulysses

leaves his eyes with two drops

waves of a sun that drowns

only those who crave the destination

HE USUALLY COMES

as a father as a herald
he looks deeply into my eyes

and I see a wish in his
he also carries the boy
that bears marble on his chest

He never speaks
though he weeps
when his children reunite

a candle is looking at him now

the doctors used to say
that he reveals himself
when the sleep mocks
those who dare to hold

on to hope

BODIES

it is known

it is certain

when a body gets warm enough
close to inside to next

to someone else's
no one will hesitate
a hedonistic curiosity dominates
a certain adolescent timidity

two children almost eighteen
sweating

playing with pillows

this very same heat

reminds me of home
