Howl, wind,

Sin preámbulos
Violeta
es la mañana
sin
preámbulos
se
filtra la luz
en
las grietas
se
escurre el delirio
en
los pétalos
saetas
de color rompen
la
superficie que tocan
tiñe
aurora los recuerdos
polícroma
melodía
violeta
fue la luz
se
desvanece
con
la brisa
ráfaga
de fuego
tiempo
violeta
delinea
la partida
tic-tac,
tic-tac
tic-tac, tic-tac
Without Preamble
Violet is the morning
without preamble
light filtering
through crevasses
delirium sliding
down petals
colored arrows broaching
the surfaces they touch
polychrome
melody
tinting memories dawn
violet was the light
it dissipates
with the breeze
bursts of flame
violet time
delineates the departure
tick-tock, tick-tock
tick-tock,
tick-tock
