Cenizas

° Like the dragon and ky-lin, with which the phoenix is always associated, it symbolizes the union of yin and yang, peace and disharmony and like the dragon, the phoenix is also made up of elements, typifying the entire cosmos of the six celestial bodies; it has the head of a cock which symbolises the sky (the eyes, the sun); the back of a swallow as the crescent moon; its wings are the wind; its tail represents the planets (trees and flowers); and its feet are the earth. Chinese phoenix was thought to have a large bill, the neck of a snake, and the tail of a fish. It represents the element of fire and its season in summer and drought °

Renacer implica
que hubo ceniceros
inundados antes del cáncer
que, previo a la tos, leal como los perros,
tu invitación premeditada al respiro
aseguraba temblor de agallas funcionales


pulmón
aguanta
resiste
rompe
bocanada
entonces aire.
