For Claudio Guillén In the branches of the laurel tree I saw two dark doves One was the sun and one the moon Little neighbors I said

Moon came to the forge in her petticoat of nard The boy looks and looks the boy looks at the Moon In the turbulent air

In the green morningI wanted to be a heart.A heart.

So I took her to the riverbelieving she was a maiden,but she already had a husband.

At five in the afternoon.It was exactly five in the afternoon.A boy brought the white sheetat five in the afternoon.
