POEMITAS BN PROSA
III
IA OVICIA

Prisionera bajo las b0vedas del Con
vento, oil alma de la noyicia no Sc ele-
yaba al cielo entire nubes de evange
lico misticismo, sino que, filtrandose
por las sombrias paredes, recorria ell
mundo de los vivoS, dOnde habian que
dado en- ebu|lici0n sus suenOs de ado
lescente y sus realidades de mujer.
JOven Y bella, sus Ojos encerraban
ra Sc asustaba al contemporaries, ere
yendo descubrir en- sus miradas algo
de profano y mundanal que pugnaba
con la severidad del cIaustro.
A su escultural belleZa sentaba me-
jor un traje blanco con artisticOs la
EOS, que aquel negro say6n, bajo Gu
yos pliegues desaparecia la plasticidad
de la formas. Sus labios, de un en-
carnadO muy vivo, parecian fOrmados,
no para elevar preces y prOnunciar
latinajOs, sinO para besar con tOda la
fuerZa de la passion. Sus OraciOnes Sc
confundian con las frases de amor, v
la imagen de SUI amante Sc interponia
siempre entire ella y ell CristO de SUI
oratOriO.
En- ell arm0nico misticismo del claus
trO, era una nOta mundane aquella
hermOsa novicia, que todas las tardes
bajaba al jardin embriagarse con ell
perfume de las flores.
Cuando Sc hallaba en- aquel sitio te-
MIA alucinaciOneS diab0licas, eXcla
maba, como 81 estuviese dirigiendose
alguien: ~-Me tienen aqui para que
te divide pero no 10 conseguiran. Yo
te amo siempre y tn sme quieres mu-
cho Si2 Vuelve d repetirmelol
Y extendfa los brazos como ST trata
ra de abrazar alguien.
Cuando, va anochecido, las nOtas del
salterio Y ell rumor de las esquilas, la
Aamaban al interior del conventO, la
nOvicia, triste y pesarosa, Sc alejaba
del jardin, volviendo cada pasO la
CabeZa, y agitando las manos Ell senal
de despedida.
POGO tempo despues, la novicia mu
rio SOca de amor, lanzandO maldiciO-
hes y juramentOs, Y su muerte cause
verdadero panico entire aquellas reli
glosas, pues ell jardinero afirmaba to-
dos los dias que las atlas horas de
La noche, cuando todos dOrmian en- ell
convento, y un silencio de ultratum
ba reinaba pOr los ambitos, Sc veia
cruzar por entire las alamedas del jar
d'n una sombra de mujer con ell Ca
bello suelto Y ell peCho desCubierto, y
que de sus labios brotaban, rapidOs y
estallantes, chasquidOs de besOs y sus
plrOS de alma enamOrada.

Cuba, la egregia sultana
Del mar que sus costas bate,

Ardientes lluvias dc sangre,
Para romper sus cadenas
Y afrmar sus libertades.

La ignominia del ultraje.
Cuba, la terra bendita,
La de los poetas brillantes,

Como una virgen salvaje

Cuba, ell pats de las cafas,
De las flores tropicales,
De las sabanas inmensas
De las campinas feraces,
Graba con buril de fuego
En- paginas de diamante,
Las fechas de sus victorias
Y los nombres de sus martires.
Cuba no es como su hermana
De los antillanos mares,
Humilde mas que ell cordero
Inocente mas que Ell ave;
Porque ha visto en- sus collados
FL humo de los combates,
Y ell somaten en- sus villas
