Semantics of the World: selected poems
Descuidadas mujeres han regado
todo el arroz pilado durante el día
y el patio es un fantasma silencioso
La luna se ha derramado gota a gota
Sin embargo
su delgado cuenco sigue intacto allá arriba
Las piedras, la palma, el cercado de palos…
que ahora no son verdes ni malvas ni dorados
como si entre la luz y la sombra
volvieran las cosas—extrañas—a su condición
más verdadera
