Soy un pájaro honesta --- I'm an honest bird...

The eye that sees,
sees what ?
The word that tells,
tells what ?
Beliefs belie ?

I bathe in a mirror;
my body is one color
and distance another.

With black letters;
green leaves.
With black letters;
lips red
like yours.

I hide in your breathing.
I sharpen a hawk
until it soars
and I burn the page you read
with your eyes, which I also burn,
your eyes black as letters.

You and I
will drink together
long sips
of water more crystalline
than absence.
On a final winding line
dry water for a lingering thirst.
And hope for a better World.
