Solar Images

Homero Aridjis

1

 

The Sun is an eye

surrounded by shadow

 

2

 

The Sun’s song

is made of light

      light

              light

                      light

 

3

 

Time deferred.

The future was here

before we turned into

forgetting

 

4

 

There she was, naked,

with her crown of white,

her face glowing.

Virgin of the ardent eyes

no one here to appreciate you

no one here to tell you

“You are beautiful”

 

5

 

Sun,

O yellow syllable.
