(silent poem)



(...)

Poesía se está, callada,
escuchando su propia voz.”
Martín Adán *

(1)
It opens
rises
I stop breathing for a moment
seems like a party
undefined color. 

(2)
It stops
lowers
I breathe again
seems like it’s another day but in the distance people celebrate
It’s not the end of the world.

(3)
It sleeps
floats
I hold my breath
wings of sand hair of illusions
the clock has forgotten to say goodbye and sing its sorrow.



* "Poetry is, silent,
hearing his own voice"
Martín Adán.
