Songs to a Woman

A.
Your body is as white as sand
On which no children have ever played
 
Your eyes have the doleful beauty
Of flowers, drawn in a schoolbook
 
Your hair cascades to the ground
As if it were the smoke from Cain's sacrifice:
 
I must murder my brother
My brother must murder me
 
B.
All night your sandals cried out
As they stood, empty, beside your bed
 
Your right hand hangs down, as if from your dream,
Your hair studies the language of the night
From the torn book of the wind.
 
The curtains gently rustle
They are ambassadors of otherworldly powers
 
C.
If you unbutton your coat,
My love for you grows twice as strong.
 
If you wear that round and white cap
Passion courses through my veins.
 
In the place that you love
All furniture must be removed from the room,
 
And do away with all the trees and mountains,
They make the world too crowded for you!
 
D.
If you smile,
All serious thought evaporates.
 
At night, the mountains are silent beside you
In the morning, the sands accompany you to the ocean.
 
If you do good things for me
All factories close.
 

God Shows Mercy on the Kids of the Kindergarten

God shows mercy on the kids of the kindergarten
Less than that on the kids of school.
And on the grownups he shows mercy no more
He leaves them on their own
And sometimes they need to crawl on all fours
On the scorching sand to reach
The pickup station
And they are dripping blood.
 
Perhaps on those who truly love
He shall show mercy and throw shade
Like a tree over the sleeper on the bench
In the boulevard.
 
Perhaps for them we too should take out
The last coins of kindness
That our mother left us,
So that their happiness will protect us
Now and on the other days.
