Dulce María Loynaz

Poem II

I cast my word upon the wind, without keys or veils.
 
For it is not a coffer of covetousness, nor a vain woman trying to seem
more beautiful than she is.
 
I cast my word upon the wind that all may see it, touch it,
grasp it or tread it out.
 
Nothing is in it that is not myself; but in girding it about me
like a penitent's belt and not cloak lay, perhaps,
all my wisdom.
