by Alfonsina Storni (1892 - 1938)

Danza irregular
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En la punta de un látigo
mi corazón,
danza una danza
en tirabuzón;
en la punta de un látigo,
mi corazón.

En la punta de un triángulo,
mi corazón,
rebota por el césped
como balón;
un pie y otro
lo manda
a mi corazón.

Vertiginosamente,
sobre la vara
del chino
prestidigitador,
bola de oro y acero
gira que gira
mi corazón.

Flor helada y desnuda
mi corazón,
en las ramas de agua,
del surtidor,
sube y baja
a destiempo,
mi corazón.

Alrededor del mundo
hace cordón
de baba
de luna
mi corazón.

Ya por hilo de odio,
ya por hilo de amor,
trompo a siete colores
zumba mi corazón.

Remolinea el látigo,
sigue el balón,
no descansa
la vara ni el surtidor,
otra vuelta da el mundo
gruñe zumbón;
pero, forzad la danza
de mi corazón.

De uno a otro picando
su rebote es mayor:
¡atajadme!
que me alza
mi corazón.
