Water in June's Memory (fragment) by Carlos Ramírez Vuelvas

II
Let fantasy inhabit the world’s skin again.
Let it be filled once more with ghostly figures,
along with the arrogant beauty of the terrible
sweet hand of nature.
Let there be nightly music over the road
for the primitive is sacred.
Do not let the future’s glance matter
nor the memory under crystals be named.
That in the essence of each thing a God name us,
that every instant be one.
