I Am the Salvage of the Universe

I am the salvage of the universe. The first fruit of heaven
The ear with which the great Spirit conversed, the silent song
Struggling with the heavy chains of the flowers heart 

When night has nothing else to eat, it drinks of beauty 
From the stars, and wipe its mouth with me. In this skin
Is where my friendship with the world begins, the grape of night 

In the hands of the sky, the of seed blackness, father of light
The silent symphony of the stars, with broken wings in flight
The rags of planets dripping from the heavens' mouth.
