| description | In this article are analyzed, hermeneutically and correlatively, the poems “Yo y ella” (1987), by Nidia Barboza, and “Tropical” (2018), by Daniela Esquivel. The representation and construction of lesbian lovers is studied, linking the expressions of their homoeroticism with ecofeminism and queer ecology. In Barboza’s poem, the (self)affirmation of lesbianhood linked to the beach and earth elements is observed. In Esquivel’s, the belonging of lesbian bodies to the beach and the naturalization of exhibitionism are also studied. It is concluded that the lyrical actants show, from the paradigm of open LGBTIQ+ eroticism, an ecological awareness and queer empathy, because they integrate nature into their bodies, they live their interdependence and indistinction with nature, they celebrate cosmic belonging and unity; they inhabit, remember and queer the marine ecosystem, where they naturalize and affirm their homosexuality, enjoy and freely and holistically exhibit their homoeroticism, and deconstruct the discourses of the heteronormative, homophobic and ecophobic dwelling. |

En este artículo se analizan hermenéutica y correlativamente los poemas “Yo y ella” (1987), de Nidia Barboza, y “Tropical” (2018), de Daniela Esquivel. Se indaga en la representación y construcción de las amantes lesbianas, vinculando las expresiones de su homoerotismo con el ecofeminismo y la ecología queer. En el poema de Barboza, se estudia la (auto)afirmación de la lesbiandad asociada a la playa y a elementos terrestres; en el de Esquivel, también la pertenencia de los cuerpos lesbianos a la playa y la naturalización del exhibicionismo. Se concluye que las actantes líricas evidencian, desde el paradigma del abierto erotismo LGBTIQ+, una conciencia y empatía ecológica queer, pues integran la naturaleza a sus cuerpos, viven su interdependencia e indistinción con la naturaleza, celebran la pertenencia y unidad cósmicas; habitan, recuerdan y queerizan ecosistemas marinos, donde naturalizan y afirman la lesbiandad; gozan y exhiben libre y holísticamente su homoerotismo, y deconstruyen los discursos heteronormativos, homofóbicos y ecofóbicos. Este artigo analisa hermenêutica e correlativamente os poemas "Yo y ella" (1987), de Nidia Barboza, e "Tropical" (2018), de Daniela Esquivel. A representação e construção de amantes lésbicas é explorada, ligando as expressões do seu homoerotismo ao ecofeminismo e à ecologia queer. No poema de Barboza, estudamos a (auto)afirmação das lésbicas associadas à praia e aos elementos terrestres; no poema de Esquivel, estudamos também a pertença dos corpos lésbicos à praia e a naturalização do exibicionismo. Conclui-se que os actantes líricos evidenciam, a partir do paradigma do erotismo aberto LGBTIQ+, uma consciência ecológica e empatia queer, à medida que integram a natureza nos seus corpos, vivem a sua interdependência e indistinção com a natureza, celebram a pertença cósmica e a unidade; habitam, recordam e estranham os ecossistemas marinhos, onde naturalizam e afirmam a lesbialidade; desfrutam e exibem livre e holisticamente o seu homoerotismo, e desconstruem discursos heteronormativos, homofóbicos e ecófobos.
