(IMPROVISATION #73)
ERNESTO CARDENAL'S DAY
JANUARY 28

Winds dance
noise vibrates
in the contrary copper sun
ripening from cactus
as you ask us, one by one
not to wait a long century
in a hazy dusk
from a revolutionary music
as you celebrate
in your life span's cul de sac
from a spontaneity in traffic
at our liberty's back.
