Possession - Juan Sánchez Peláez

The world weighs malicious and solemn in my roots.
I accept your hands, your joy, my delirium.
If you return, if you dream, your image in the night
will recognize me.
My blood of magic flows toward you, beneath the
prophecy of dawn.

Juan Sánchez Peláez (1922 - 2003) Venezuela
