Gallery II
Fuego
Since the night has come to erase you with its dark ray, let's take the path of the cows and the archangel. Let's go home!
There its already lit, the Fire, that climbs to blazes in the hawthorn bush. That same fire could kill, but it, alone, can give you peace. It leaps in red and blue birds; it can leave you but wants to stay. Where you were, you held it then; it lives in my breast and will not scorch you, and it is in each song I sing to you.
Love it, wherever you meet it, in what is night, in what is cold and dead, it is good to adore oneself in Fire. And blessed to follow it, my son, to mount your huge wings.
