Change of
Ghosts
––by Miguel Angel Flores
I look without seeing
into the darkness of my room
toward other eyes
that look without seeing me
and I will keep looking at them
until the fatigue
that extinguishes
will flare up and dance in another space:
a ghost of the room that I know
will see and touch my quest of this night
[From Contrasuberna. (Against
the Tide). Mexico City: Mortiz.
