emergency V

 

 

he comes and he is a pasture

 

he comes and he is the reflections the stillness
the surface of adolescent water

 

             voice irrigate liquids

 

he comes and he is finger tips
corridor balcony that leads to the day

 

             voice of a different touch

 

he comes he has always been there

 

              runaway voice

 

he comes and he is an afternoon that crosses the morning
asterisk in the surf
he comes navigates all his sunrise

 

 


Translated by Curtis Bauer
“emergency” is from Temperatura voz [Voice Temperature] (Barcelona, Pre-Textos, 2010).
