lyrics

Poema para un Hombre de Madera

quiero besarte con sonido
abrazarte con las piernas
sentirte tan profundamente
y no dar vuelta hacía atrás

por un segundo frágil
que se perderá entre sueños
creí conocer tu nombre
o peor
creí enamorarme del destino
que parece aparecer
a tus pies de lotos negros

todo parece divino
cotidiano
arraigado a la energía
primitiva
pasional
particular
que resuena en tus carcajadas
como eco de chiste oscuro

yo soy
nada mas
que el reflejo de tu gozo
madera en tus manos
destrúyeme o constrúyeme

aunque por pedazo
todas las partes tienen su valor
por tí
me encontraré
completa
