by Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel (1913 - 1938)
Leda
Language: Catalan (Català)
L’aigua rissa un aire fi — estrofa de blaus, carícia — i acusa sedes recents, presó de llunes fingides. Sobre el cristall, una obaga divina fressa lasciva. Ona i plomes en flagell. Nervi de roses. Enigma. Marbres de l’instant s’encenen vora la fuga imprevista. Pompa, silenci, fatiga. Corba de blancs i d’espines. L’escenari entremalia la procacitat maligna.
