Long Distance Call
August Bover
August Bover
Surely, night will enfold me
and I can retreat to a small corner, somehow,
stepping into the chimera of a dream.
I will course the seas that yesterday you sailed,
Slipping into the woods and the forests,
distant lands, where often you ride your horse,
Soaring over high peaks
to glimpse traces of your route,
lit up by the evening star…,
when you relive a few moments of the day
that you began with the murmurs of waves,
the trembling of longing and desire
and ardor, in the voice and the rose
that you will find flickering on your answering machine.
August Bover, \"Long Distance Call\". The Seventh Quarry, 12 [Swansea, País de Gal·les] (estiu 2010).
