Contents:
Island I am you
Stone and bough, wandering current
My heart swelling with ancient sap
We have been welded
Canticle for a memory
You, my flower, from my trembling bough
City without you
In this radiant blue
Only an impulse, a sterile rhythm
On time
May my children live
Canticle for a route
I came to know
So fully does my deep heart breathe
Upon cobblestones
Dark, moistened trunks
Canticle for a late afternoon
Pressing for centuries to enter through the roots
I shall keep you
Towards the funeral pyre
Allegory of the rose.
Notes:
English and Spanish.
