Near Antofagasta
trous
pampa
resounds:
a
broken
voice,
a mournful
song.
In its caves
t moans, mountain
of buried light,
translucent cathedral,
crystal of the sea, oblivion
of the waves.
And table
in the world,
salt,
powder
sprinkling
vital light
upon
our food.
Preserver
of t

discoverer
on
the high seas,
earliest
sailor

Dust of the sea, in you
tongue receives a kiss
from ocean night:
taste imparts to every seasoned
dish your ocean essence;

cellar
reveals to us
more tic weness;
in it, aste finitude.
