Lighthouse In The Night

by

Alfonsina Storni


The sky a black sphere,

the sea a black disk.


The lighthouse opens

its solar fan on the coast.


Spinning endlessly at night,

whom is it searching for


when the mortal heart

looks for me in the chest?


Look at the black rock

where it is nailed down.


A crow digs endlessly

but no longer bleeds.
