Original Spanish Text: _________________ Un patio Con la tarde se cansaron los dos o tres colores del patio. Esta noche, la luna, el claro círculo, no domina su espacio. Patio, cielo encauzado. El patio es el declive por el cual se derrama el cielo en la casa. Serena, la eternidad espera en la encrucijada de estrellas.
