Cento for Jovitas
Surrounded by coming and going aromas,
cinnamon eyes celebrate.
A marriage of substances—
they are this night, this music.
Slime sparkles in the pool— in the streets
papers and leaves are chased
with resentment.
Kiwi begins to shine and throb—
the juice unsullied and glazed.
I love you like the sharp tang
of fermentation, like blissful pulp,
oozing, bittersweet.
We linger after dinner, vaguely
talking— spellbound
by the intermittent noise of dishes.
(Lines from: Ramón López Velarde, Víctor Terán, Coral Bracho and Octavio Paz)
