se creyó dueño
Se creyó dueño
y ella lo obligó a la más honda encuesta,
a preguntarse qué era en realidad suyo.
Después lo tomó en sus manos
y fue formando su rostro
con el mismo material del extravío, sin desechar nada,
y lo devolvió a los brazos del origen
como a quién se amó sin decírselo.

He believed he was the owner
and she forced him into the deepest survey,
to wonder what was really his.
Then she took him in her hands
and formed his face
with the same material of being lost, without discarding anything,
and returned him to the original arms
like the one you loved without letting them know.
