Penthouse
 
The floor already knows its steps, the way
 
That he has to leave, his time to return,
 
The small number that spends on the sidewalk,
 
His astonishment on the balconies when he looks down
 
The rain among the birds, the smell of perfume
 
Which is suspended every day after the
 
Penultimate word, the hanger that sums up,
 
Without clothing or disorder, the afternoon is not;
 
The tone of his mobile, his mold in the armchair,
 
The things he interrupts if he sees that I have fallen asleep,
 
The possible nudity that hides his pajamas;
 
His voice on waking, his name on the mailbox,
 
The way he goes, after he's gone,
 
Filling his bedside with his body.
 

Urban muse
 
After the soft glass of the shirt
 
The breasts of Olympia de Manet
 
They mess up the traffic and the rush.
 
The sun is a Monet's water lily.
 
Denying pants to the waist,
 
The sleeping brunette of Courbet
 
The temperature rises ten degrees,
 
It hurts the rhythm of the pulse, accelerates it
 
Without heels of infarct or painting.
 
Venus of Renoir while waiting
 
The center bus in the look
 
Competes in curves with the road,
 
Black hypnotic at the stop.
