Estoy enamorada de la agua.
The waves know this.
They see me lift su estrella—a glistering blanket
to
warm
sorrows,
wash
them
away.
The silk never wanders off from mi piel.
Its alexandrite eyes blink around my neck in the
lamplight de la noche. But the waves cannot
subside
the
saudade
en
me.
I live in a haze, pero el agua takes me into
an
ameliorate
moment,
dream
in
a
penumbra
where
there is no doubt—the wish que yo necesito.
