En los pardos todas las noches son gatos.

Es la noche un gato de ojos azules,
se rasca con los troncos de las sombras
y en sus ramas holga sus fieros deseos,
duerme panza arriba con una pata
en la luna y otra sobre el tejado.

hay un felino calor en el aire,
pardas estrellas brillan en el maullar
de las horas, escurridiza forma
que cautiva y apresa a los amantes. Read more of this blog post »
