“Sleeping WrestlerYou are a murdererNo you are not, but really a wrestlerEither way it's just the sameFor from the ring of your entangled bodyClean as leather, lustful as a lilyWill nail me downOn your stout neck like a column, like a pillar of tendonsThe thoughtful forehead(In fact, it's thinking nothing)When the forehead slowly moves and closes the heavy eyelidsInside, a dark forest awakensA forest of red parrotsSeven almonds and grape leavesAt the end of the forest a vineCovers the house where two boysLie in each others arms: I'm one of them, you the otherIn the house, melancholy and terrible anxietyOutside the keyhole, a sunsetDyed with the blood of the beautiful bullfighter EscamilloScorched by the sunset, headlong, headfirstFalling, falling, a gymnastIf you're going to open your eyes, nows the time, wrestler”
