They
say he was born in a village
where the
beasts move without hurry
And the flowers
pay a tribute
to paintings
that no artist
ever conceived
They speak
with the wind
they refer
to this and that
just by existing
so ephemeral
- Do not tie
them there
and don't
place them on tombs -
They say
that he tried
in his fall to hang
from the canopy
of an old tree
and that he
screamed
with the whole
width of his face
with his dark
skin
his hair plaited
till the outset of his dreams
And that the
blue was waiting for him way down
- There was
not a wave that forgot the day
in which he
dyed the sea with his pain -
They say
that it was
an afternoon
and the sun
was still up
when they
threw him on a damp cot
and on the
road
he tried to
find reasons
However
the words
escaped
his pulse
arrested the torrent
and he returned
to the bottom of the earth
without even
understanding
They say
that no one
took pity
and that inside
of him entered
the hard shadow
of death
They say his
mother still looks for him
and the sea
is no longer
the same
