(Translated from the Spanish by Indran Amirthanayagam.)
At midnight,
when the firmament
was filled with stars,
and comets
one after another
were falling over the sea,
you entered the secret garden
to find within it another sky:
one hundred tortoises
were carrying lit candles
on their shells;
walking they formed
unforeseen constellations,
flickering and luminous rhymes,
another writing,
created by chance.
