THE TIME OF BIRDS Poem by Luz Mary Giraldo

THE TIME OF BIRDS



Ungraspable and sewing
the word
covers with a deceiving cloth
the wound of night:
plays at freedom
or dreams of fortune.
As an eternal Penelope
she knits a tunic for all
she removes the basting of the secret of waiting
until she invents a new face
or a nameless mirror.

Ungraspable and sewing
she listens to the wind passing by
fatigued on account of the birds.
