THE LAZY ONE

Things of metal will continue
voyaging between the stars
Tired men will take off
They will violate the quiet moon
and set up their drug-stores there

In this time of the swollen grape
the wine begins its life
between the sea and the Cordilleras
In chile the cherries are dancing
the dark girls are singing
and in the guitars,water is shining


The first wine is pink
is sweet as a tender child
the second wine is strong
strong as sailor's voice
The third wine is a topaz
a popppy and a fire

My house has see and earth
my woman has large eyes
the colour of wide hazelnut
When night comes the sea
cothes itself in white and green
and later in the moonlight the foam
aleeps like a sea going bride.
I don't want to change my planet.
