Confessions [1-12]
1. A flower opens, its face turned to the light, whiter than the light. everything around it disappears, the streets, the trees. All has been written.
2. It has been written, every thousand years the shrubs will bloom with fiery tongues. And the flower’s name is Dolores and she is beauty and she is pain.
3. And the flower’s name is Dolores. She is the knight of roses and the hidalgo of hyacinths: she, today, is immortal…
4. She won’t die today, for a moment, a hand has undressed her face from despair. And the wound that bleeds bleed inward, sleeps.
5. Her face My hand and all that is.
6. Dolores in the rosetree Dolores in birdsong Dolores in the hollow of a shoulder Dolores in the mouth of a kiss
7. From deep down she arrives in herself. On her eyelids small star-fish still tremble. Her sun is large and her pupil small.
8. Her sun colors her hair’s perihelion. Her garments undulate on her body’s golden dunes.
9. Embraced as a torso, hair on both sides of her neck she is she is she is
10. These are: evenings in which the passers-by’s shadows still linger. Fragrances that fold their petals under the rain. On their level center, bony and serious, a small death. And a small d.
11. She stands alone on the shore of a thought. Around her eyes black circles spread. Pensando en la muerte.
12. You have to be a sun or else nothing, says Dolores.
