{one day i will return to you} mario melendez translated by ron hudson One day I will return to your eyes and I will begin anew I will return with a hollow sound of metal and wet sun I will look between the eyelids of time your green body and your hair of grapes I will crown you in silence with my mouth and with my hands that will not stop I will return for you and your star-strewn blood coming to pass the evening like an old shadow something will tear itself there above and we will not be ourselves something will burn suddenly with the echo of bed sheets And I will return more alive, purer, more hungry and I will return flying and tearing feathers all I do for you, all in silence until the roosters prolong the night when they see you undressed |
