POEM: The Sad Hours of Silence by Carlos Mijares Poyer


-THE SAD HOURS OF SILENCE-

At another hour and in silence
the giraffes experts
in the solitude of heights
and butterflies draw
dreams of rain pinned
like curtains of needles

only air knows breeze
the naked back
and chicken-pox of thighs
the lost gaze

Thank you to that Queen
showing itself in street corners
sad apparition
the pupil asleep

perhaps paper
a wrinkle of the sky
and noose on the neck
of the black poet

When the last kite
erupted in Suns
like the submerged medal
of ancient seas
and lost civilization

There was no population
which could breathe in that desire
like the handkerchief 
did not wither
the erasure of the smile
in the forest of cities
the last before last drop
slides in the corneas
of mutants.
