I sleep

Teeth of flowers, dew cap,
hands of herbs, you, perfect wet nurse, keep me borrow
earthly sheets
and quilt of weeded moss.

I sleep, my mother, acuéstame.
Set a lamp at my headboard;
a constellation, the one you like;
all good, lower it a bit.

Leave me alone: \u200b\u200byou hear the buds breaking ...
a celestial foot rocks you from above
and a bird traces a few bars you

to forget ... Thanks. Oh, one request:
if he telephones again
tell him not to insist that I come ...

pain this afternoon I

divine
October Walking on the far shore of the sea;
Oue
golden sand and green water, pure heaven
And see me go.

be high, superb, perfect, I would
As a Roman, to match

With big waves, and rocks
dead And the wide beaches that encircle the sea. Over

slow, cold eyes and the mouth
move, get carried away;

See how the waves break against
blue granite and not blink

Watching birds of prey eat small fish and
does not awake;

think that the fragile boats
could sink into the water and not to sigh;

See that is fast, the throat to air,
The most beautiful man, do not want to love ... Losing

gaze absently
Lose it, and never found again;

Y, upright figure, between sky and sea,
Feeling oblivion perennial sea.
