night suite

1
the only sound is night

i walk around inside a dream
touching the small faces of things

the heating stove in the living room
lifts up its eyes

looking for winter

2
madrugada
another name for dawn

along a thin wafer of horizon
it begins

there is no erasure of night

it is the timeless opening and closing
of a single hand

3
she was dreaming of water
a small butterfly she flew
along the surface

her wings touching softly the quiet water
wingdust and water mingling

in air stained by the moon
