The Secret
Tell me how the oceannurtures the shore with hope
with the waves it sends kisses
then leaves again
Tell me how the platano tree feels
in caresses of ivy
does he enjoy the embrace
or secretly cry at night
Tell me what the pomegranate wanted
sprouting in thorns
How can a stream know joy
If it doesn't draw blood
And tell me how I
standing on the same boulder for ages
haven't been taken by the storm
to its unknown cyclones
Can it be Stiga's* water
where I dipped up to my heel
but now tell me the secret,
who could have told you
*Styga was a primitive goddess, detestable and horrible, personified by the homonymous river of Hades.
