OFRENDANDO EL LIBRO

Because you make life's bravest lioness
Your dog, imprisoning her with the chain
Of roses of your embrace.

Like a brooch of mystical diamonds,
The most intoxicating lily of death.

Because I glance at you over space,
Bridge of light, perfume and melody,
Connecting inferno and paradise

—With a glowing soul and somber flesh…

—Con alma fúlgida y carne sombría...
