You Say
You will say night
and night will be
You will say day
and day will be washed
You will say colour
and all the butterflies
of the earth will come flying
You will think love
and the horizon will open
a hidden rainbow
You will be tormented
and in another city
her skin
will burn
You will say night and memory will fall away You will say day and the earth will be empty
You will be silent
and rocks will explode
as far away as the moon
You will not look at her
and she will be caught
invisible
in the throat of the wind
You will say night
and a house
will rise
in the sand
You will say day
and this body, gnawed by old age
will be naked
