Huaraz, Peru, September 85.

ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR

What can I say to your sleeping back? Thoughts won’t reach the color of your shirt, or the angel over your face

and the parrot on my tongue doesn’t jump tonight

your dreams of dying alone and abandoned a stone buried in the earth like any other

how did we get to this quiet sheet stretched out over the blood of trees cut down on street corners?

my impatience at having no fixed place at never being satisfied and your calm in the face of my absolute and interminable resistance, how is it we found each other, drawn in by mouths of different legends laughter spelled out in separate tongues?

Cantfnflas jumps on the rickety catwalk day after day he runs without falling and the heart of a poet reels drunkenly on a glacier, talking to flies the buried stone has become a flower and in its voice

the wind sings, a bird is flying.
