to cross a river me naked with his body risky

like a river at night


Cantigas de Amigo

And after a moment of uncertainty facing the unknown

then by virtue of the gesture reminded
returns as the friend who after rain knocks


we helped to undress her clothes hung
to dry by the fire

and hear the story of his journey recognizing ourselves
in their ways

castaway

night as he left his animal
condensation on my window

by between needles of the trees look cold


and glass fogging
with the index,
write this ephemeral word
