Poem
Juan Diego Tamayo
INVOCATION
I return to the ancient languageof my visions
To the sacrament of truth
spread in my mouth
like a far-away sea
Pressed to meet
the vastness of time
detains me in its arms
Lost in the amazement
I bow
before the image
I ride a blind horse
possessed by fireflies
I approach the birth
my soul clamors for

INVOCACIÓN
INVOCACIÓN
Vuelvo al antiguo paisajede mis visiones
Al sacramento de la verdad
extendido en mi boca
como un mar lejano
Apresurado por el encuentro
la vastedad del tiempo
me detiene en sus brazos
Perdido en el asombro
me inclino
ante la imagen
Galopo un caballo ciego
poseído de luciérnagas
Llego al nacimiento
que mi voz reclama
