spring rain, and tango

translated by PLS

this ocean of fire tilting for love

steps on emotional limits

with a pair of omnipotent

and seductive eyes

slowly approaching that curve of aloof elegance

the brilliance inhales and exhales, steering

the trooping breezes from the sides

sliding bare from the bottom of their feet into

two swaying, trembling arcs

one steps forward and the other backward, and vice versa

two steps forward and two steps backward, and vice versa

one after another taut swerves to retreat in order to advance

shedding assertive desires from

furrow after furrow of adonis’ belt

moistening the intermittent groans of everything on earth

while extinguishing the constant endings of deadwood

tango, this perennially doomed tinder

kindles everything back to life
