Con casi 50 a os en ste que ya se despereza, como una novia reci n amada en una tarde de verano sobre cubierta, se me derramaron de nuevo las esencias todas, y de regreso a su mamparo, se dispersaron ciertas dellas, no tan esenciales ni tan bellas, pero acaso, z calos de vidrio que enmarcaran ciertos cantos, soportales empedrados, dinteles, claves como de luna arrojadiza. Machihembrados de madera. H medas roderas donde embridar los versos, que se fueron dispersando como en una rosa, e incapaz me supe pese al viento, de colocarlos a una, analizando el tono, el tiempo, el timbre, el movimiento, el ritmo, la nota, la figura o el silencio. Una avanzadilla ser an los primeros cientos que aqu os dejo, como Cosas de las Olas y quiz , Rachas, dejando para el final, revisados de nuevo, aquellos que cuentan las horas y el dolor de un muchacho enamorado de una amada que nunca existi . Y a contrapelo, cebaderas, alas de barlovento y escandalosas, empavesando enhiestas como pieles el viento que arreciaba mientras compon a como pod a, que nunca supe c mo, si no leer de corrido versos de otros hasta lacrarlos a mi alma como hierros que iluminaran cada una de mis noches, cada cita enamorada, cada copa derribada entre las s banas. Colocar el cuarter n del centro a medio punto, fraguar calzadas de adoquines, elevar arbotantes, contrafuertes y ojivales fue ardua tarea mas donde pretend catedral apenas qued argamasa para ermita, acaso orreo, cabazo, siquiera cueva, pero al fin, versos. Forjados todos a golpes de noche y luna, de viento y calma, de l piz arrostrado en vino y estelas. No doy para m s. Este es mi verso. Cuanto respiren ha de oler a mi, y a mis espaldas, tal vez un poco a los de siempre, que sabe Dios donde andar n y qu tramaran tras los cristales de Venus, esa estrella que como todo el mundo sabe, hace olvidar los sue os.
