1. Like clouds that squeeze her breasts
The walls rain silence and gloom

2. Shadows fall on shadows, as
Flies scatter over boredoms

3. The ceiling chews and the corners of the dwelling
Chew dead noises and wounded echoes

4. Torn from memories and passion
And cups of melted sorrows

5. Sorrows search in sorrows for
A weeping lute and a sobbing throat

6. For drowsiness that possesses dreams, for
A deeper ache than the loss of clouds

7. Trees cough, feel their shadow
Hours freeze from the chill of dust

8. So why is sorrow strange today?
It huddles like an owl, pounces like a lynx

9. Relaxes, stretches, expands
Wears the eyelids, absorbs visions

10. Rides on swarms of jesters to violence
Twists like snakes, strangles

11. Like a thirsty tide and raids like bandits
Wears the garb of tricksters, crouches

12. Naked as rock, thorny and rough
Senselessly sings and causelessly

13. Cries and makes eloquence sob
Writes destinies in a second

14. Then in a second erases the writing
For seconds today there are hands and mouths

15. Like what jumps on the panicked forest
And eyes that spin the glance

16. Like ghosts spin ruins and wreckage
Who reminds us of the bitternesses of foes?

17. Who strengthens us to carry adversities?
Who brings ardor back to sorrows? Who

18. Grants rest to the aches of youth?
Who restores color to colors? Who

19. Gives shrouds some charm?
The familiar had a hue and fragrance

20. The unknown had longing and awe!
From where? Questions before

21. You begin to know the strangeness of answers
