Las estrellas binarias
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Las estrellas binarias
tienen misterio para los pasajes
más oscuros del tiempo y del espacio.
Las hay oriundas de una misma nébula
y las hay que se acercan fugazmente
siendo de tal intensidad y pureza
el mutuo halón que ya forman sistema
aunque la peregrina siga rumbo...

...con la fuerza adquirida,
hacia donde la quieta al fin se impulse.
Ya te lo dije: el tiempo cronológico
no cuenta en estos casos
de afinidad interestelar. Mi voz
viaja a ti a contracurso de mi fuga
en las mejores ondas de tu vida.
Morir no me quitó salud: me escuchas!
