The Lips of the Sky
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
Through the naked ook limby 
I see the moon half eaten away by the blu
he pines softly sway 
and the tiny birds' songs seem to attract 
the night that begins to enter my chest 
between mountains angels of dust 
are playing on the last breath of sun
the lips of the sky are closing in our eyes
