Balada De Sango

♡ ♥

(Osogbo,2017)

Rostros congelados en
el muelle de Heraclitean
Rompecabezas en ciclos de colmenas
Cuando las voces subían en una tormenta meteórica
No es una ópera trasplantada,
sino una semilla
De vocales ininterrumpidas en
ciernes De lenguas sin templar
en muros de piedra.

Amanecer recogió palos para la
balsa Y vertió la luz
en ollas de barro.
El parloteo inminente
Tenía hueso para la baba.
