Levanté mis ojos
y todo cuanto vi fue
un incendio de cruces en
la parte baja del puerto.
Entonces sentí
en el alma la angustia
de un ángel ***** que
gritaba grandes cosas.
Rebusqué entre
las piedras una angosta
hendidura para ocultarme.
De los pantanos
neblinosos salieron
precipitadas hordas
de escorpiones armados
de pestes y de
temerosas desgracias.
Como la sombra de un
silencio salvaje,
sobre la copa del sol,
entonces la luna vertió
todo el tejido de su
nauseabunda sangre.
