i do not love you...



i do not love you as if you were the saltrose, topaz or arrow of

carnations that propagate fire

i love you as certain dark things are loved secretly, between the

shadow and the soul.

i love you as the plant that does not bloom and carries

hidden within itself the light of those flowers

and thanks to your love, darkly in my body

lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

i love you without knowing how, or

when, or from where, i love you simply,

without problems or pride:

i love you in this way because i don't

know any other way of loving but this,

in which there is no i or you,

so intimate that your hand upon my chest

is my hand,

so intimate that when i fall to asleep

it is your eyes that close.
