"RINGS OF ASH
      For Cristina Campo

It’s my voices that are singing
so the others can’t sing—
those figures gagged gray in the dawn,
those dressed in the rain like desolate birds.

There is, in this waiting,
a rumor of breaking lilac.
And there is, when the day arrives,
a division of the sun into smaller black suns.
And at night, always,
a tribe of mutilated words
looks for refuge in my throat,
so that they won’t sing—
the ill-fated, the owners of silence."

"Vinegar and milk, sky, ocean,
The sky's dense mass,
Everything conspires towards this quivering
Lying in the dense heart of darkness."
