Ana María Sarlat (dedicado a Carlos Pintado)
SPEAK TO ME
A VERSE UNHEARD
AND I SHALL BIND YOUR WORDS
UNTO CARESS OF SONNETS
THAT PROFESS
OTHER FORMS OF POETRY
REWARDS TRANSGRESS
AND PASS US BY
UNSPOKEN WORDS
OF DO OR DIE
AND HEARTS INFLAMED
TO BLIND THE EYES
OF YOU AND ME
PERHAPS TIME
THAT WONDROUS TOY
THAT PLAYS WITH US
AND ROBS OUR JOY
INSTILLING FEAR
SO UNEXPLAINED
THAT ONLY TEARS
(COMPARATIVE WITH RAIN)
ON STORMY NIGHTS ALONE
BESIDE A DARKENED WINDOW
AND IT'S PAYNE
I'LL SPEAK TO YOU
A VERSE UNHEARD
AND PERHAPS YOU TOO
SHALL BIND MY WORDS
UNTO CARESS OF SONNETS
BY AND BY...
I STILL REMAIN
UNSPOKEN AND UNHEARD
UNBOUND,
BY THE FRAGILE SWEET CARESS
OF SONNETS
