Así era. Así es
Así será. Así es
Este es vuestro árbol. Así era. Así es.
Pájaros tejen en su aliento coronas de éxtasis.
Brisas aseguran siseos para el acecho del halcón.
Aires enhebran pálidos huevecillos de miedo.
Ella se oculta en su propia cueva donde permanece niña.
Allí rememora encajes, participaciones y requerimientos maternos.
Luego vuelve a su estatura de anciana
cuya sombra se funde en perspectivas de soledad y nieblas.

So it was. So it is.
This is your tree. So it was. So it is.
Birds weave crowns on its breath of ecstasy.
Winds hiss to ensure the hawk's observation.
Airs thread pale small eggs with fear.
She hides in her own cave where she remains a child.
There she remembers laces, participation and maternity requirements.
Then she returns to her old lady's height
whose shadow fuses in perspectives of solitude and fog.
