Portrait of a desert

Barren hands, broken eyes
a child plays with dust
no rain to call, no arms to hold
for in this land innocence dries.

 


Sobre la juventud 

Eras tan reciente, tan nueva,
tantas sombras detrás de tu sonrisa
que al final fue inevitable que tu gris se uniera al mío.
Desde entonces
estas noches amenazan con quebrarme el pecho.
