PARQUE ESPAÑA

The fountain becomes a column of air
          but the earth summons
and water
          returns to its likeness

A little more
          of the fountain takes flight

          Babel erected into the impossible cohesion
          of a new tower
which under its own great weight gives in

autógrafo
