To flower

Searching for the right words

to hesitate between vowels

putting the correct emphasis

who makes music

when he writes

the muse awake

as she sends her wave to the beach

and let the shells sing

between the seaweed

that is telling the story

of the sea who splashes

and the deep that murmurs

in the yawning mouth

of the muraena

feel the trembling of the hermit crab

the lobster on high heels

the tale that begins

as the water

begins to flower.
