Solar Poem

by Oscar Martínez

Brief is your zenithal light
of those desires unfulfilled,
and stanzas rich with
your blood sleet, dusky lady.

Upon your whim my burning
caress, your Earth I touch
and all that comes from me,
salted by your black tears.

about you the argument in this heat,
unbearable,
delirious,
sweat upon sweat,
boiling pain,
sigh, because you are mine.

They come to you to gather
their weighted kisses upon
your perennial bronzed skin,
and contagious sun body, Berenice.
