Puerta de entrada

Palidez
de batalla extinta
compone las marcas lacónicas
de tu rostro
cuyos ojos se abren
a otra claridad
de incógnito matiz.

Un sello en su frente
expone el ritual
del paso definitivo.

En ese umbral
medirán bien tu estatura
antes de pasar la esponja
por los cascajos del desierto
antes de la secreta labra
modelada en el dintel
de la puerta estrecha
junto al reverbero
de las aguas
escanciadas.
