Materiales de construcción
Sones y razones inventados
por el olvido para el olvido.
Palabras que solo son palabras
cuando ya son solamente cosas.
Rimas desenterradas como ruinas.
El canto invisible que luego se llama
jilguero, sinsonte, ruiseñor.
La lengua que beso
en la lengua con que beso.
Las sílabas que dicen lo contrario
al decir esto que digo.

Building materials
Songs and invented reasons
by oblivion to forget.
Words which are only words
when they are just things.
Rhymes like ruins, unearthed.
The invisible song then called
finch, mockingbird, nightingale.
The tongue that I kiss
with the tongue I kiss with.
The syllables that say otherwise
when saying what I say.
