Translated from the Spanish by Stephen Kessler
cave at night
Look. Kissing you here, I say it. Look.
in this dark cave, look, look
at my kiss, my final darkness covering in definitive
night
your luminous dawn
breaking
into blackness, and like a sun inside me announces
another truth.
Which you, so deep, don’t know.
Out of your being my clarity comes entirely
from you, my funeral dawn opening into night.
You, my nocturnity made of light, which blinds me.
