fire
micropoem
Original in Spanish
There is fire in my handsI feel how it burns my flesh,flows through my veins,reaches my heart,and like a tree of lightradiates through my whole bodysetting it ablaze
With firemy eyes seek you in the darknessand find younaked,unwary,near
I go to you
The fire of my mouth passes to yoursIn an embrace I hold you fastand you burn with mebeside mein youlike a great tongue of fire in the wind
