presencias
Presencias
Tú, él, ellos
¿dónde ahora están?
En la tierra
único lugar habitable para nosotros
los hechos para el ocaso, para el deseo.
Quisiera pensarlos estrellas
Ángeles
hálitos fugaces que reaparecen
pero sé que no están hondo
en la tierra
silenciados.
Sólo en mi alma acontecen
como experiencias venidas
para asaltar un diario vivir
y se instalan borde a borde
y me exaltan con la presencia
y dicen, estoy aquí.

Presences
You, him, they
Where they are now?
On earth
the only habitable place for us
those made for decline, for desire.
I would like to think them stars
Angels
fleeting breaths that reappear
but I know they are not deep
in the earth
silenced.
Only in my soul they occur
as experiences coming
to assault a daily life
and they install edge to edge
and exalt me with their presence
and say, I am here.
