LOVE THEME FOR A SAD BALLAD

LOVE THEME FOR A SAD BALLAD



... from your body to my body, Phenicia, lightning;
from my body to yours a river, a kiss in a gale, a tide;
… Oh, how I have loved you, and how much!
Do you remember that trembling of open roses,
and what ambrosia did the fury of my breath detect in your breasts?
... yes, it's hard to remember you and not get a beautiful moment
of light for memory;

... we were a man and a woman, a breath, a rumor, a song,
a single and pure echo, do you remember?
we went once;

... until dawn on any given day when the dogs barked,
and, without getting tired, all night they were barking, barking and barking;
the moon was still shining when, near dawn,
the pack moved away with death.
