282 Letras Femeninas, Volume XXII, Nos. 1-2 (1996)

the salvo of explosions came that mutilated her question: the reason for the persecution

the reason why thinking about freedom and justice became a crime punished with arms.

My God, what do you mean, subversive?

Why me? Why everyone?

Why?

And so yesterday today tomorrow last night the sirens' lights strafed, were strafing, strafe, will strafe the streets

trying to capture to capture . . .

the hurried inquisitive questioning steps tightened will tighten the circles around another fate another pain the same questions.

Cuando las hojas se agitan (Poema Pöster en los Juegos Florales de Manati, Puerto Rico)

Deseo jubilosamente erguido levanta rocio infatigable en las hojas anunciadas en las ramas.

Presagio tu lengua acariciando mi piel, desnuda

vibrante.

Las horas fluyen silenciosas hacia refugios abiertos al contorno del torrente.

Crece la lluvia de marfil deseosa en las mägicas nervaduras.

Silvestre horizonte,

profusion de perfiles vagabundos entregado al placer los labios entreabiertos sübitamente suefta encuentros que crecen veloces.

ia

En las lejam'as hümedas que arrulla

el despertar de madreselvas

forjando un cäntico de mieles tu cuerpo se arquea sobre el mi'o.

Caricia que huele a camino desata curvas.

Reverberando con un ondear de follaje el advenimiento

profundo y lento, fugaz y de siempre.

Cuando las hojas se agitan saboreo la noche

indivisible.

Escala ultima

Casi sin vibraciön se detienen tus labios en la altanera presencia del pezön.

En silencio abres la pausa, la radiante lengua desciende ävida

erguida como un cisne entre los pötalos.

El beso

La garganta tiene

hondura de vientre.

La rafz del abrazo crece arroyos en el cuerpo:

se nutren los minutos bebiendo el movimiento unänime.

Todo es vertiginosamente presente, todo es origen.

Ofrecidos,
