Poem by Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
To: My beloved angel
Which heaven looks out for you
When the rain is over?
From abandonment and shelter
Supporting the spell
Of the Euphrates breeze,
I watch over your name.
Grabbed to the shadow
I want to dissent
Over our steps,
Call blunting
The five hours
Of birds.
The universe
Starts and ends
With us…
When I close my eyes.
