A glass song

Wagner Chaves-Acuña

As the moon welcomes the singers into darkness, life begins

Rain has passed and the heat has warmed up the evening.

Tonight, a song will be the beginning of a hug

And a loud choir will softly seduce a tailless figure.

Lovers approach in the middle of
the stream

While a new song begins,

It is now time to fill the forest with the little ones,

As lovers meet beneath a tree's leaf.

Though the jelly-like dwelling dries out,

Life has already begun.

Perfect divers and swimmers encounter as their tails disappear

And a desire to jump grows as their four limbs appear.

The now marvelous hoppers climb up high to the top

To begin the last part of their lives,

Where some will die, and some will sing

As everything comes alive in my life.
