THE TRAIN

 

The locomotive of my life

goes crossing slowly

or hurriedly the seasons.

Fourteen stops, fourteen years,

looking for you woman,

shouting your name,

woman, woman, beloved woman,

where are you?

I was tired

without a voice,

without hopes,

without knowing it,

without thinking of it

in forty-seventh station.

 

You were waiting for me,

dressed as springtime

with your aurora, with your beauty,

with your sweetness, with your passion,

with your patience and your arms

which give me true strength.

I am satisfied,

delighted with your love which grows

like a train of many cars.

You and I

are coal and the water,

our love is the fire

which makes vapor,

gives force to our engine of illusion.

 

Your love causes

a column of vapor,

to appear in me.

a whistle blast

which goes on shrieking

notes of happiness.
