It Grows

We present this work in honor of the poet’s 65th birthday.

Zoé Valdés
Cuban
b. 1959

 

The dream grows
you have become a tree
Honey drips from the branches.

The silence grows
the poem is the night
that gives you a portal.

The rain grows
I barely get wet
inside your body.

The light grows
you are his reflection
on my dress.

Breathing increases
and we turn around naked
in the shadow.
