I will see you again in a few days. It is impossible for me to believe that the dawn is so near. Within a few days I will listen to your voice and drink from your mouth that water that makes me forget my insatiable thirst. I was like the calf which has lost its mother. I was like the butterfly which can no longer find the only flower whose nectar nourishes. Incessantly I pronounce your name and that of the son you have given me. How can the heart of a man contain a love such as this! Think of the millions of years that have been necessary for the rain, the wind, the rivers, and the sea to make of a rock that handful of sand you are playing with. Think of the thousands of beings that have been necessary for your lips to be warm under my kisses. As the pilgrim makes ablutions with the sand, I raise in my hands two handfuls of this golden dust you play with, and shower it over my back. I will see you again in a few days. ~ Reinaldo Arenas, Singing from the Well
