LOURDES ESPINOLA
-------------
MERLIN

Merlin of the stars and dragons,
Merlin:
magic arts
with shamrock rings
and the banquet of my legs:
the prophetic fountains.
I call you "Merlin"
under the mask.
Merlin with the golden juices
of a malevolent god,
I remain like a lake
that turns:
wave-sand-water.
captive coronation:
Merlin submerged in watery groin.
