after love
afterwards, the compromise.
bodies resume their boundaries.
these legs, for instance, mine.
your arms take you back in.
spoons of our fingers, lips
admit their ownership.
the bedding yawns, a door
blows aimlessly ajar
and overhead, a plane
singsongs coming down.
nothing is changed, except
there was a moment when
the wolf, the mongering wolf
who stands outside the self
lay lightly down, and slept.
rápidas manos frías/ retiran una a una/las vendas de la sombra/abro los ojos/ todavía/ estoy vivo/en el centro/ de una herida todavía fresca ~*madrugada* por octavio paz
