ESTUARIO

por Jose Luis Rivas

XX

Y con cada desden-con cada muestra de indiferencia-aaulla un deseo descuartizado

Ya no los guardo Soy el que tom6 la vela

ZO el que quiso guiar sus pasos con los tuyos recurvando la oscura casa del vertigo?

Y una recia desaz6n se acuartela en el pecho bajo un cristal que al viento entero lo pregona

Un licor embriaga tus mejillas mientras posas una mano en el talle esbelto de la joven uva de

playa Y sucesivas ninfulas-de aladas gavias-zarpan Vendran otros deseos jadeando, agitando sus

panales tapiados-con el zumbido ciego golpeandose contra las paredes de oscuras celdillas-

La fiebre condenada-fiebre de puertas adentro que toma el color del vino en las aladas sienes- en las frentes ungidas por un balsamo salobre

Y el enigma se asoma con cautela-se hace claridad-despues arco de lluvia bajo el alero

Callaloo 26.4 (2003) 1100
