I have kissed the summer dawn

Before the palaces

Nothing moved

The water lay dead

Battalions of shadows

Still kept the forest road

I walked, walking warm

And vital breath

While stones watched

And wings rose soundlessly

A clear pale light

A flower who told me its name

I came upon the goddess

Then one by one

I lifted her veils

Across the meadow

Where I betrayed her to the cock

I hunted her

¡And I hunted her!

And smelled the scent

Of her immense body

Dawn and the child fell together

At the bottom of the wood

When I awoke, it was noon

¿Life was it really this?

¡Life!
