[Feeling for your unconfessable skin] Poem by Antonio Gamoneda
[Feeling for your unconfessable skin]
Feeling for your unconfessable skin, your skin anointed by the sadness of snakes; I can make out your invisible concerns, your heart's cold trail.
I would have noticed your bloody sash, your weeping between window panes, and not the yellow of your wound,
but my dream lives under your eyelids.
