SUSPICION OF A SEAL
The sea is murmuring greatness.
A black spot in the water?
I guess at the head
Of a seal. It's not being forged
By my imagination, which never initiates.
Undulation of waves
On the back of a seal.
Have I found what I brought with me?
Language is now touching
Reality with its power
Jorge Guillén
