Sol 5.6

  1. ..

    He tells me, as he dances with me...

    words unlike any other words.

  2. He takes me by the arm

    and plants me in one of the clouds.

  3. ..

    And the black rain in my eyes

    falls in showers... showers.

  4. ..

    He carries me with him... carries me

    to an evening with rose-pink balconies.

  5. ..

    And I... like a little girl in his hand,

    like a feather borne by the breezes.

  6. He brings me seven moons

    in his hands, and a bundle of songs.

  7. ..

    ..

    He gives me a sun... gives me

    summer... and a flock of swallows.

  8. ..

    He tells me I am his masterpiece,

    and worth thousands of stars;

  9. ...

    and that I am a treasure... and that I am

    the loveliest of all the paintings he has seen.

  10. He tells me things that make me dizzy,

    that make me forget the dance floor and the steps:

  11. words that overturn my history,

    that make me a woman in moments.

  12. He builds me a palace of illusion

    in which I dwell for only moments.

  13. ..

    ..

    And I return... return to my table,

    with nothing... but words.
