Poetry to Estepona

...Through these streets the traveler discovers
the greatness of your past,
the beauty of your present
and a dream towards the future.
open to the sky.

Sazón

Everything is already seasoned. I feel done.
i know myself woman and slave to the ground
deep the root, feeling in flight
the branch, certain in you, of its harvest.

how the branch grows and how straight!
All is today in my trunk a single yearning
to live and live: to reach for the sky,
upright and vertical, like the arrow

that shoots to the cloud. So upright
that your voice has learned how to shatter
of opening it smiling and blooming.

Your voice moves me. Through it I feel
that the bent branch straightens out
and the fruit of my voice grows in the wind.

Alone at home

I am already only fragments, loose pieces of me,
but I am not the hand that binds me.
On the screen the world
shouts at me in broken pieces,
happy, bitterly,
citrically luminous
with its foolish joy of refreshment.
I am only my fissures.
The world is also only its fissures.
