gone
Gone
Hoy no me acordé de ti.
La vida siguió
(como siempre).
En la alameda
los árboles
temblaron sus hojas
para dejarlas morir.
Quizás en ese instante
sentí algo
parecido a tu nombre.
Me detuve.
(No era tu voz).
Miré mis zapatos
y calculé el tiempo.
Hace mucho
que no aplasto
colillas encendidas.
Gone
Today I didn't think about you.
Life went
(as usual).
In the avenue
trees
shook their leaves
to allow them to die.
Perhaps at that moment
I felt something
similar to your name.
I stopped.
(It wasn't your voice).
I looked at my shoes
and guessed the hour.
It's been a long time
since I crushed
cigarette butts.
