Cicalas Poems


Ah, Father

Oh, what a night
for him, guarding 
the cicalas glow

in the garden of love, 
where damas de noche scent the air 
with their rare aroma. 

The moon is out, 
wild tares teasingly dancing 
in the wind. Tonight, 

on a table, two pens 
and two quills glean the silent hours 
while the night roses--

are ready 
to bloom. Indeed, they’re lovely 
when they begin to open.

Sipping the wine 
of anxiety, dad wishes that the night is short 
for young love seekers to stay apart.

When Summer Comes

Summer, soon, will be opened 
to all with warm hugs and the blue sea 
will welcome us, cheerfully. And, when 

its pompous eyes rinse the day
in the great bath of its eternal 
breath, the weightless hands of 

twilight night will satiate love and these 
craving cicalas that flirt with the hornpipe dancers 
are indeed twinkly damas de noche, 

whose enamouring flames prowl 
for their naked souls, glowing like 
sparkly jewels in the evening sea.
