8. El aire  [sung text not yet checked]
En el llano y la llanada de salvia y menta salvaje, encuentro como esperándome el Aire. Giran redondo, en un niño desnudo y voltijeante, y me toma y arrebata por su madre. Mis costados coge enteros, por cosa de su donaire, y mis ropas entregadas por casales... Silba en áspid de las ramas o empina los matorrales; o me para los alientos como un Ángel. Pasa y repasa en helechos y pechugas inefables, que son gaviotas y aletas de Aire. Lo tomo en una brazada; cazo y pesco, palpitante, ciega de plumas y anguilas del Aire... A lo que hiero no hiero o lo tomo sin lograrlo, aventando y cazando en burlas de Aire... Cuando camino de vuelta, por encinas y pinares, todavía me persigue el Aire. Entro en mi casa de piedra con los cabellos jadeantes, ebrios, ajenos y duros del Aire. En la almohada, revueltos, no saben apaciguarse, y es cosa, para dormirme, de atarles.. Hasta que él allá se cansa como un albatros gigante, o una vela que rasgaron parte a parte. Al amanecer, me duermo -cuando mis cabellos caen- como la madre del hijo, rota del Aire...
