Against the glass – Beatriz Saavedra Gastélum
Do not look now at the multiform shore,
the white cypress that burns in the air
inextinguishable gallery sowing the firmament.
The night dreams of you freely.
I look in the frozen mirror
your way saved by memory,
the hard throbbing in the ear,
in the vast dimension of your spellings.
Something you left in the day and its balance,
on the deepest shore that slammed misfortune.
A sea, a tree, an iceberg,
because it cannot be returned to the word
his first babble.
This black mirror pick up my rotten body,
the incessant fraction from our rough hands.
The country night goes around
the imminence of your skin barely in silent words
that wrinkle the dust.
That serious slowness of the wind.
Shake the bright dawn of my childhood,
shadow memory in which the night darkens his presence.
That begging on so many flights.
What will I say to god in the naive speech of my cage?
What I wanted was death the silence that sent the other shore.
Sleep under the black light in nobody’s prayer.
