| You will catch me on the fly, and never on the wall and if you leave me air in your lines
|
| I will sleep words of a muse of maternity leave. |
| Maybe, that at last you know me very
|
| well, if my oddities were gray dots, every tare I created, if I follow them with
|
| a pencil, in the end you would see my face on the paper
|
| That's why I'm here again, rummaging through my warehouse for that word,
|
| consul of my shyness. |
| I hope I find the way, I better, I have a topic that
|
| finish
|
| What if it never shows up? |
| Or do I understand that I did not find the right word?
|
| And when I finally find her, that sea of doubts arrives, yes, when you decide
|
| you stop me, always. |
| You squeeze me right here and say "no", my loyal traitor
|
| inspiration, when you appear less I am… And I am
|
| You will fall asleep, what a novelty, my «geniocide» is worse when I don't leave you
|
| to talk. |
| On the highway of life, if you miss the exit, you have to wait.
|
| Maybe he hasn't learned to accept that Judeo-Christian morality squads
|
| with their guilt, they will follow us by land, by air and above all to love.
|
| It may be that it is delaying the action, at twelve I had a dream in which I won,
|
| but sleep overcame me. |
| Since then my defeats are the traces of
|
| card of that Yo. |
| Now listen to me, I have already found the right word.
|
| Better get ready. |
| He has something that scares everyone. |
| Yes, I'm going to let her go
|
| I want to release her
|
| I will pronounce “hope”, I will shout it inside if that is what it takes.
|
| I will write it a thousand times, I will walk away with my back. |
| Perhaps by repeating it something
|
| stay. |
| I cannot allow your denial, my loyal treacherous inspiration of
|
| intermittent appearance. |
| Like an angel found in an elevator
|
| How well you work as a souvenir!
|
| EPILOGUE (Recited by Joan Manuel Serrat)
|
| I accept in my place words that I have found abandoned in my “palabrera”.
|
| I examine each cage and there, barking vowels and consonants, I find dirty
|
| verbs that cry after being abandoned by a subject that one day was their
|
| master and so believed that he was dispensed with the predicate
|
| This very week they found a couple of deranged adjectives,
|
| to three adverbs dead of cold and to many others, of the pronoun race,
|
| who dream in their cages of being the shadow of a child
|
| I then point to the words that have been abandoned for the longest days and take them to
|
| house: I vaccinate them from rabies and comb them in my own way as if they were daughters
|
| unique, because in truth they are all unique
|
| Then, and before integrating them into a nursery school of stories or songs,
|
| I give them a kiss of ink and tell them that if you want to earn respect never
|
| you have to forget the accents in the patio
|
| Sometimes I give my words colored umlauts imitating headbands and I
|
| I just watch how they play in the yard of a poem
|
| Almost always they leave you too soon and you hear them in other people's mouths,
|
| and you are happy and angry with yourself, as with everything we love with a certain
|
| selfishness
|
| And one stays at home, inert and somewhat empty, caressing that silent word
|
| called "silence", always faithful, always with you. |
| But everything is the law of life.
|
| As the poet Halley once told me: "If words attract,
|
| Let them unite with each other and shine, which are two syllables!” |
