“Lightning from the Stable” by Elizabeth Schön (Venezuela, 1921–2007)

You don’t choose
the abyss, the chaos, the nothingness
They reach you
in water running slowly
for you not to be surprised
by the absence of matter around you
near the light of the soul calling
the wing’s passing flap of the earth you live in.
