Analysis of Smaragdos Margara-Claviceps purpura
Carlos Martinez Rivas 1924 (Guatemala) – 1998 (Managua)
Con una aguja
Con hilo blanco,
Con la carrucha
En tu regazo
Cóseme el flanco
La herida aguda
La negra llaga
De mi costado
Mi desventura.
Tu sola bruja
Con tus puntadas
Lentas y largas
De hábil sutura
Ciégala
Muda boca
Cerrada
Por amor
Nunca.
