The sun that sinks between us has given
you a new name.
We who alone know the total flood of a life
that assaults with its secrets.
Those curtains that assail you
at the balcony of your tempered dreams
give way almost nightly
to the retreating winds caught in your hair
and I saw amidst your falling soul
the ocean, that kept me with its confidence.
For what wonders it has drunk,
the sea will keep you company.
