Se abren las flores nocturnas de quinta avenida
para esos pobres señores que van al hotel
flores que rompen en la oscuridad
flores de guiños de complicidad
flores silbando suicidios
flores de aroma fatal.
Qué jardinero ha sembrado la quinta avenida
con variedad tan precisa de nocturnidad
cuál es su especie y cuál su país
qué fino abono nutrió su raíz
dándoles tono silvestre
dónde estará su matriz.
Flores que cruzan las puertas prohibidas
flores que saben lo que no sabré
flores que ensartan su sueño de vida
en guirnaldas sin fe
flores de sábanas con ojos
flores desechables
campanillas del antojo
flores comiendo sobras del amor.
Brotan, rebotan, explotan por quinta avenida
son arrancadas y parten con aire veloz
dicen que es duro el oficio de flor
cuando sus pétalos se ajan al sol
pálidas flores nocturnas
flores de la decepción.
Flores que cruzan las puertas prohibidas
que saben lo que no sabré
que ensartan su sueño de vida
en guirnaldas sin fe
flores de sábanas con ojos
flores desechables
campanillas del antojo
flores sin primavera ni estación
flores comiendo sobras del amor.
