THE RUPTURE

There was a chain strong like fate,
Sacred like life, sensitive like a soul;
I cut it with a lily and continue my journey
With the magnificent coldness of death …With calm

Curiosity my spirit looks at its inner lake,
And the crystal of the dormant waters,
Reflects a god or a monster, masked in a
Tenebrous sphinx suspended in other lives.

autógrafo

Delmira Agustini
