RIO

por Jose Luis Rivas

XI

Para nosotros era Cuca la bruja

porque asido del pufio llevaba al d6cil nino

en turno senalado hasta el rinc6n en sombras

del viejo camerino vecino al campanario

(cuatro muros mohientos nidos de telarafias

y gris aire estadizo). Era mas que una bruja

esa conserje atada a su remo de palmas

aplicada a barrer con el claro de luna

el calvario del niio preso al dia siguiente.
