LOVE

web | Black book of the Endangered Species

You are beautiful
like a sea in the warm fall:
the ripe quince of the sun,
the horizon swimming with haze.
Your movements are shadows
on the flaming sand...
You are beautiful.
And a swift smile passes:
the shadow of a gull on the water.

You take possession of me
like the solitude of white dunes
under the thorns, the wind, the sunset.
You take possession of me
like the calm instant before sleep:
like a ride in a stroller
under the golden poplar trees of the first year.

Untouchable!
You are untouchable, like yesterday.
(Now that dreams rush on and startle me:
a swelling sea in the cold night.)
You are untouchable like the past
of the man without a future.

Nothing else is left for me,
but to imagine we are together
and kiss you in the cold
under the solitude of stars.

I love you,
because you do not exist.
