The Clouds

The clouds are hair

rising like rivers;

are the white gestures

of the mute singer;

are statues in flight

at the edge of a sea

light fauna and flora

of countries of wind;

are the painted eye

sliding motionless;

the woman who leans

on the edges of sleep;

are the death (the awaited for)

behind the closed eyes;

the remedy, white!

our white days.
