Strange woman in de bus


You're purple and crimson skin
female of hard flesh
heifer that breaks the day
in that late bus
in which I go sleepy
of the daytime work 
to bathe me in your purple flesh
in your blue eyes and your pink feet
I'm less sad and strange when I look at you
I may not know your smile or your light feet
you don't have a tooth for me
and if you ever watch me
I'm like lost in the background
and so strange as you
your feet of roses and some castanets
the cross with which my blood kisses your lips
purple always and forever
the heifer that lose rose petals
on her feet of porcelain
and a flesh which is crimson dye
I love your deep navel
even if I've never seen it
even if my fingers never force the flesh
nor my buckle rubs that waist
I love you, beautiful stranger,
because you've never been mine.
