Las aguasvivas, a la deriva
Medusas transparentes
Inofensivas
Gelatinosas, tornasoladas
Las lleva la corriente
Ellas no nadan
Sobre las olas, en comitiva
Nunca una sola
Flotan pasivas
Bellas durmientes
Las aguasvivas
Que buena gente
No las afligen, sexo ni seso
Vegetan y procrean
Con un bostezo
En mar picado no se extravían
El viento las arrea
A una bahía
Pero se erizan
Si alguien las roza
Y traicioneras y venenosas
Clavan los dientes
Las aguasvivas
Qué buena gente
No tocan fondo, son adhesivas
Quizá por eso siempre
Están arriba
Naturalmente, con desparpajo
Prosperan succionando
A los de abajo
Si un cataclismo las desordena
Las aguasvivas, sobre la arena
Se mueren de repente
Que gente buena
