Enfermedades de la Ninez

Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)



A una boca vendida,
a una infame boca,
cuando sintió el impulso que en la vida
a locuras supremas nos provoca,
dio el primer beso, hambriento de ternura
en los labios sin fuerza, sin frescura.
No fue como Romeo
al besar a Julieta;
el cuerpo que estrechó cuando el deseo
ardiente aguijoneó su carne inquieta,
fue el cuerpo vil de vieja cortesana,
Juana incansable de la tropa humana.
Y el éxtasis divino
que soñó con delicia
lo dejó melancólico y mohíno
al terminar la lúbrica caricia.
Del amor no sintió la intensa magia
y consiguió... una buena blenorragia.
