En la noche del eclipso
la noche de que quieras
debajo de la sangre
del árbol de granada
esta tu sexo
encendido por la luz de estrellas
Cara de un jovencito
cuerpo de un hombre
Soy las puntas del zacate
que tintina tu piel
Soy la sombra
que obscura tu sueño
Mi muerte esta colgada
en el fruto arriba
