(1893 – 1959)
La bala que me hieraserá bala con alma.El alma de esa balaserá como seríala canción de una rosasi las flores cantarano el olor de un topaciosi las piedras olieran,o la piel de una músicasi nos fuese posibletocar a las cancionesdesnudas con las manos.
Si me hiere el cerebrome dirá: yo buscabasondear tu pensamiento.Y si me hiere el pechome dirá: ¡Yo queríadecirte que te quiero!
