Luna! Corona de un testa inmensa,
que te vas deshojando en sombras gualdas!
Roja corona de un Jesús que piensa
trágicamente dulce de esmeraldas!
Luna! Alocado corazón celeste
por qué bogas así, dentro la copa
llena de vino azul, hacia el oeste,
cual derrotada y dolorida popa?
Luna! Y a fuerza de volar en vano,
te holocaustas en ópalos dispersos:
tú eres tal vez mi corazón gitano
que vaga en el azul llorando versos! . . .

Mama killa. Hanah pacha ankash waq´a sunqu
ima raykutah waypunkiri huh qiru
ankash vinoh uxunpiri, Intih haykunanman
chhallusqa hina, k´irisqa uyayuhri.
Mama Killa. Mana chanin phawaykachasqaykipin,
wañuyta tarinki ch´iqirih puka waytakunapi:
qanpaschá kanki mana taxyay atih sunquyqa,
chay qhusi pachapi waqaspa harawih...
