BÉSAME, "NHA CRETCHEU."

Kiss me on the mouth and hips,
in time and distance,
under the fertile green of a tropical island that crimps in
look, "nha cretcheu."

rumor Kiss with conch, scallop
African Aphrodite,
kiss with ruddy lips madrepora
in wild arborescences my memory.

Kiss with pounding Atlantic waves,
with titanic force of giant ocean.

olive Kiss me with your eyes fixed, glittering studs
which, in my longing, always kiss
under the silvery stream of stars,
with the warmth of your breath, blending my "saudade." Mayte

Dalianegra.
