Selection of short poems
*
Untouchable
warmth
pleasure
drowned
in
absence.
*
Under the eyelids
persists
the
burning
of the
image
intact.
*
Palpate the scar
fissure
inextinguishable
of the
memory.
*
It intuits to the ardour
it acclimates
to the docile
burning.
*
Fever
besieges
the gloom,
flows
the mute maneuvers
in the perfume
of the accent.
