Black Night Mirror

Jaume Pont

"Just for one toss of the dice: blinded in light and crazed in dark"

From the highest branch

The sprouted chimera waves

under a chanting sun,

While a cloud

held up by a rake

midair

gathers the blue,

quivering, and whispers incessantly:

It’s when you dream that you see clearly.

The rest is a red mouth

always donning the same face:

the pale rose of the afternoon’s

drawn blood, the shoal

where naked words wander

And a shining, black knife plowing

a heart furrowed with melancholy.
