Testament in the Jungle

Until the shipwreck
of the broken lamp
brings the will of the water,
let the touch
that was vanquished by other metals
reach the calm of the water
my eyes could not touch.

And before you leave
by way of the closing window,
hang my dead wings
in the desolate walls of the wind;
and to the echo
my steps left behind,
tell the mystery of the dawn,
and speak to them of peace.

And those others,
tell them that I am not here,
that I left on a trip.
