NowA
Let's look for birdsB
The tall iron branchesC
in the forestD
The denseE
fertility on the groundF
The worldG
is wetH
A dewdrop or raindropI
shinesJ
a diminutive starK
among the leavesL
The morning timeM
mother earthN
is coolO
The airP
is like a riverQ
which shakesR
the silenceS
It smells of rosemaryT
of spaceU
and rootsV
OverheadW
a crazy songX
It's a birdY
HowA
out of its throatZ
smaller than a fingerQ
can there fall the watersA2
of its songX
Luminous easeB2
InvisibleC2
powerQ
torrentD2
of musicE2
in the leavesL
Sacred conversationsF2
Clean and fresh washedG2
is thisH2
day resoundingI2
like a green dulcimerQ
I buryT
my shoesJ2
in the mudK2
jump over rivuletsJ2
A thornL2
bites me and a gustD
of air like a crystalC2
waveM2
splits up inside my chestN2
WhereP
are the birdsJ2
Maybe it wasJ2
thatO2
rustling in the foliageP2
or that fleeting pelletQ2
of brown velvetQ2
or that displacedR2
perfume ThatO2
leaf that let loose cinnamon smellS2
was that a bird That dustD
from an irritated magnoliaT2
or that fruitU2
which fell with a thumpV2
was that a flightW2
Oh invisible littleC2
crittersJ2
birds of the devilC2
with their ringingI2
with their useless feathersJ2
I only wantX2
to caress themY2
to see them resplendentD2
I don't wantX2
to see under glassJ2
the embalmed lightningI2
I want to see them livingI2
I want to touch their glovesJ2
of real hideZ2
which they never forget inA3
the branchesJ2
and to converse withB3
themY2
sitting on my shouldersJ2
although they may leaveC3
me like certain statuesJ2
undeservedly whitewashedG2
ImpossibleC2
You can't touch themY2
You can hear themY2
like a heavenlyT
rustle or movementD2
They converseJ2
with precisionD3
They repeatE3
their observationsJ2
They bragF3
of how much they doG3
They commentH3
on everything that existsJ2
They learnI3
certain sciencesJ2
like hydrographyC3
and by a sure scienceJ2
they knowJ3
where there are harvestsJ2
of grainK3
