rain
make me a space
-there-
in your bed of brief water

“ Loving you is like losing oneself in a glowing
garden, because your body has the color of summer
and your black hair shines with
sparks of gold.
Loving you is like walking by the secret
light, among the trees, when it is almost
the divine night and still the sun drags
its passion over the burning things.”
By Manuel Mujica Láinez (Argentina, 1910-1984)
