<h1><center>Leaf litter</center></h1>

<center><em>Burning
in me so many contradictions,
dives and swirls.
Today, awake as a green leaf,
strutted, about herself as a dove in cooing.
Exhausted until the same strabismus 
of the inverse,of the curves and recesses 
of the of the hands and eyes in its most hidden hiding place. 
Today, I declare myself totally invaded by a giant forest reborn.</em></center>

<center><em>Ablaze
in metaphors
of ebbs and hangovers
of the humid marasmus in which I fell
after the tides of moons that hurt wounds 
on stormy beaches, weary of so much fight.</em></center>

<center><em>Ardent
in every sense
and contradictions of the instinctive,
intuitive and sensitive in a compassionate cluster 
and intimate caresses for the soul.
Simply, sustained by the stems that look us 
in the face with love, with the consequent flight  
of the shadows that were imprisoned 
by the withdrawal and the poison.</em></center>

<h1><center>Hojarasca</center></h1>

<center><em>Quemando
en mí tantas contradicciones,
zambullidas y remolinos.
Hoy, despierto como hoja reverdecida,
pavoneándose a sí misma 
como paloma en arrullo.
Agotada hasta el estrabismo mismo de lo inverso, 
de las curvas y recovecos de lo manoseado 
y lamido en su escondite más escondido.
Hoy, me declaro totalmente invadida por un bosque renacido.</em></center>

<center><em>Ardiendo
en las metáforas
de los reflujos y resacas
del húmedo marasmo en el que caí
después de las mareas de lunas que resonaron heridas 
en playas tormentosas, hastiadas de tanta lucha.</em></center>

<center><em>Ardiente
en todos los sentidos
y contradicciones de lo instintivo,
intuitivo y sensible en un cúmulo compasivo 
y caricias íntimas para el alma. 
Simplemente, sostenida por los tallos 
que nos miran de frente con amor 
con la consecuente huida de las sombras 
que estaban presas del retraimiento 
y el veneno.</em></center>
