En el agua oscura
un ruido
desde el agua oscura un ruido
como de rudos lamidos
como palmas sordas suena.
Vela en la noche
en la calma del muelle,
en la madrugada
las imágenes calladas
de los barcos y sus almas.
Pastora Pavón les canta
y la mar bate las palmas
como tigresa en las ancas
del tigre
la mar los lame
para que duerman y sanen
amarrados a sus anclas.
Lame el agua y la marea
las maderas y metales
de buques como animales
anclados o semihundidos
porque los barcos dormidos
sueñan con mares y mares
soñándose malheridos
sueñan con mares y mares
mientras los barcos dormidos
sueñan con mares y mares…
