(Milonga)
Sólo la noche supo su silencio,
su vuelo circular, el ala rota,
y -trascartón- la muerte…
María quiso encontrar
de su sombra su color
y perfumó de mujer
la esquina del callejón.
María quiso volar
con sus alas de cartón,
la noche con su espiral
de cuchillos sin dolor.
María qué viento sur
golpeó tus ojos de mar,
cuando roto el corazón
se alzó luna en soledad.
María por la ciudad
gastando fue su color,
y en la lluvia volverá
a su esquina de malvón.
María qué viento sur
golpeó en tus ojos de mar…
(Los textos en cursiva corresponden a partes recitadas)
