That idol, black eyes and curly mop,
without parents, love or court,
nobler than Greek and Roman fables;
his domain, insolent..
verdant with foliage
down the dawn to beaches
and hidden places
with ferocious names.

Flowering forests that flash and flare-
remembering the girl with orange lips,
kness crossed and naked in the shade,
dressed by rainbows and floral streams..
and in my dreams
she strolled by terraces
adjacent to the sea.

Now it is he, the little boy
dead behind the rosebush
with his young mother;
though its flowers drone
and slopes cradle them.
clouds still gather
high over the sea..
formed by an eternity
of hot tears.
