He wears in his heart
|
A fish from the China Sea
|
At times one sees it crossing
|
Diminished in his eyes
|
Being sea man he forgets
|
Bars and oranges
|
|
He looks at the water
|
|
He had a soapy tongue
|
He washed his hands and was still
|
Level world hilly sea
|
A hundred stars and his ship
|
He saw the balconies of the pope
|
And the golden breasts of the Cuban girls
|
|
He looks at the water
|
