.

Elena is earth seaweed

Ocean wave.

She exists because she owns the nostalgia

Of these elements,

But she knows it,

She dreams,

And trusts,

.

Standing on the rock and the coral of the abyss.

.

Actually, Elena

Knows the simple things,

Because before being a damsel

She was Siren and Ondina.

And before being

Siren and Ondina

She swam in the whirlwind, in the number, in the fire.

.

I must have fallen onto the trail, and recalled,

Oh delirious host;

Right there, where the afternoon and the dusk are appeased,

They separated me.

.

I had another love,

Pure like ecstasy,

Fragile like fantasy,

Absolute like my other love.

.

I heard a trumpet of fog in the desert

My falcons emerged from the foliage.

.

In all seasons

In autumn or in spring

Elena is earth seaweed

Ocean wave.
