Poem about a vaste desert on a body. In Spanish too.
Imagine: we both lying down exhausted
A huge blue desert at our feet
And the grass of an oasis of lads
Caressing your armpit that opens, like a mouth
While my lips water
And on them wave so many things

You talk me about our trip
Which we have to continue
Tomorrow we will be thrown out from here
We've eaten juicy fruit
And stared at the storm that
Used to come to admire you

We will go to that mountain
Which seems a sleeping boy
Leant on his side
And from whose pit emerges a brook
That slides down to the elbow

*                    *                    *                    *                    *

Imagina: los dos tumbados exhaustos
Un enorme desierto azul a nuestros pies
Y la hierba de un oasis de muchachos
Acariciando tu sobaco que se abre, como una boca
Mientras mis labios se hacen agua
Y en ellos ondean tantas cosas

Tú me hablas de nuestro viaje
Que debemos continuar
Mañana nos echarán de aquí
Hemos comido fruta jugosa
Y contemplado la tormenta que
Venía a admirarte

Iremos a esa montaña
Que parece un joven durmiendo
Apoyado de costado
Y de cuya axila emerge un arroyo
Que se desliza hasta el codo
