" "The little boy was looking for his voice.
(The king of the crickets had it.)
In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.
I do not want it for speaking with;
I will make a ring of it
so that he may wear my silence
on his little finger
In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.
(The captive voice, far away,
put on a cricket's clothes.)
- The Little Mute Boy

"Madrigals"
1
Like concentric ripples
over the water,
so in my heart
your words.
Like a bird that strikes
against the wind,
so on my lips
your kisses.
Like exposed fountains
opposing the evening,
so my dark eyes
over your flesh.
2
I am caught
in your circles,
concentric.
Like Saturn
I wear
the rings
of my dream.
I am not ruined by setting
nor do I rise myself.
