SYMBOLS

 

The sun's rays hit hard

left its mark;

there love was born

and his herbivorous daughter, the moon.

In this dug earth

daughter and father sowed and reaped

the passion of the people

Fainting and rejoicing

sometimes sad, sometimes smiling they forged

all the desires and the unbearable pain of loneliness.

Their symbols are also embossed

and well-formed, sculpted

on the ivory wheel of spring they sparkle

with the dreams of lovers

and their words of love

as their heart beats

like the bag of love that empties happiness

on their faces and impatient bodies

Their breaths without stopping

like the insatiable clock of the universe,

they push the wind on the paths

of an unexpected immortality.
