The water mirror

My mirror, current at night,
It becomes a stream and moves away from my room.

My mirror, deeper than the orb
Where all the swans drowned.

It is a green pond in the wall
And in the middle your anchored nakedness sleeps.

On its waves, under sleepwalking skies,
My dreams drift away like ships.

Standing at the stern you will always see me singing.
A secret rose swells in my chest
And a drunken nightingale flaps on my finger.

Someone was going to be born

Something touches the walls ...
A soul wants to be born.

Still blind.

Someone looking for a door,
Tomorrow your eyes will look.

A noise drowns in the tapestries.

Still can't find?

Well go,
Do not come.

In the life
Only sometimes there is a little sunshine.

However it will come,
Someone is waiting for her

Emigrant

The wind always returns
although each time it brings a different color

And the children of the place
dance around the new kites

Sing kite sing
with open wings
and launch yourself to fly
but never forget your braids

Kites passed
but their shadows hang on the doors
and the trail they left
fertilize the orchards

Through the furrows of the sea
not a single seed stops sprouting
Chafed by the winds and the ships
the foams re-bloom every year

But i love rather
the mountains that lead on their agile loins
the harem stars

Marine shepherd
that without reins or bridle
you guide the waves to their destination
Don't leave me sitting on the road

The wind always returns
Kites too
Drops of blood from her braids rain
And I ride the train

Fountain

Mechanism of love
My gryphon verses better than the nightingale

And it was you and your dress
what every day I have drunk

night road
next to the royal tree
while the wind waits
the time to open the hospital

But your eyes don't fly anymore
nor do birds nest in dead windows
The water on the balcony
like a forgotten dog

My heart and the bathroom are empty

You can sleep peacefully
No care

Inside

Your hair is outside of yourself suffering but forgiving
thanks to the lake that melts in circles
around the drowned whose drip of dead footsteps
deepen in your heart the emptiness that nothing will come to fill
even if you feel the need to darn

even if your neck bends to the slightest whims of the wind
that you explore your attitude and drive away the window there asleep
and open your eyelids and your arms and take
if you need to darn
all your foliage towards your limbs
