Because

Because I love, I weep when night falls.

To see less ordinary miracles
than by day, when the moon cannot feign
its inexhaustible light.

Because I love, I write about the
saddest moments.

Of the daughters of the Pleiades
rising in my eyes,
and the faces of my unborn children.

Shadows of reeds o'er me
when I'm gone, who's roots would
embrace me tenderly

as he does now, not worthy this pain
indulging the fragrance that
conceals my absence

despite what cannot be spoken
and the broken whorls of my fingertips.

To reach but not touch,
while unknowingly,
the saddest moments I write

Because I love.
