"El misterio de la vida no es un problema a resolver, sino una realidad a experimentar"

(Duna, Frank Herbert)

A contraluz

---

La magia de la tierra conoce
el misterio falaz de las palabras verdaderas.
Al rumor de las hojas discurre
con las luces, reposa en silencio
bajo los árboles desnudos
apaga la voz y susurra.

Con efímeras flores habla,
con resinas, con follaje,
con pétalos llenos de aromas,
de polen y deseos.
Con luces poéticas habla en voz baja
al oído del viento,
al oído de aquel que se detenga a mirarlas.

Las luces inventan su lírico milagro,
lo que enciende la palabra,
cuando queda la verdad;
lo que venimos a decir, si lo decimos,
si nos alcanza este sueño.

La invicta oscuridad que se cuela a contraluz
entre la niebla, fuera del tiempo,
tiene el temblor de una corola
ante el abismo.

La tierra sabe, por vieja, por maga,
por iluminada,
que lo que no se encarne
en flor de poesía,
siempre termina en hojarasca,
a merced del viento.

"The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced."

(Duna, Frank Herbert)

Backlit

---

The magic of the earth tastes
the fallacious mystery of true words.
To the rumor that the leaves flow
with the lights, rest in silence
under the bare trees
turn off the voice and whisper.

With ephemeral flowers he speaks,
with resins, with leaves
with petals full of aromas,
of pollen and desires.
With poetic lights he speaks softly
to the ear of the wind,
to the ear of the one who stops to look at them.

The lights invent their lyrical miracle,
what ignites the word
when the truth remains,
what we're here to say, if we say it,
if this dream reaches us.

The undefeated darkness that seeps in
against light
in the fog, out of time,
has the tremor of a corolla
in front of the abyss.

The earth knows, because it is old, because it is magical,
to be illuminated,
than that which is not incarnate,
in bloom of poetry,
always ends in leaf litter,
at the mercy of the wind.
