“My Love Reveals Objects”

by Isabel Fraire


my love reveals objects

silken butterflies

concealed in his fingers


his words

splash me with stars


night shines like lightning

under the fingers of my love


my love invents worlds where

jeweled glittering serpents live


worlds where music is the world

worlds where houses with open eyes

contemplate the dawn


my love is a mad sunflower that forget

fragments of sun in the silence
