Regalo de los Reyes: La Presa, no. 6, otoño 2018
English version of poem Luna llena en Sábado de Gloria, p. 35:
Full
Moon on Holy Saturday
Tommaso
seen under such a full moon
of
gold & honey, opal & mother of pearl,
master
Michelangelo thought him
an
angel come to the Earth
simply
to be loved.
Loving,
everything can be seen
a
marvel, a miracle, a metaphor,
immense,
of the infinite mystery of what is,
gnu,
zebra, giraffe — improbable creatures,
celestial
opera of the planets & stars,
hidden
names to be discovered
in
the alphabet imagined by the heart,
unlimited
zodiacs of the cosmos.
Redemption,
resurrection, rebirth are
interchangeable
in this miracle
eternal
of the seasons, lunar changes,
great
story without end
or
endless count of full moons
surprises
always expected of time.
