NAKED WOMAN AND THE DARK
A naked woman in the dark
has a clarity that shines on us
so that if a breakdown occurs
a blackout or night moonless
is desirable and even essential
have on hand a naked woman.
A naked woman in the dark
generates a glow that gives confidence
dominguea the almanac
then vibrate in his corner cobwebs and eyes
cats happy and looking and looking
never tire.
A naked woman in the dark
is a vocation for hands
lip is almost a destination and heart
wasteful
a naked woman is an enigma
and always a party to decipher.
A naked woman in the dark
generates its own light and we turned on the ceiling
becomes
sky and is a glory to be innocent
intended or envisioned a woman for once
disrupts death.

The pain is said silence.
But I wonder:
what will become of our city, one of him?
what will become of Montevideo, he mutilated?
And I wonder:
what will become of us without inexplicable kindness?
