Dance, Womantree
swing your imaginary body
in impossible millimeters of moments.
(…)
Close your eyes,
do not blame them,
only feel
how the wind
caresses your body

Baila mujer árbol,
columpia tu cuerpo imaginario
en milimétricos segundos imposibles.

Cierra los ojos,
no los culpes,
sólo siente
como el viento
acaricia
tu cuerpo
al caer.
