Si Me Dices

If you tell me that time keeps
The voice of people, the light, the shadow
The smile of an angel or the explosion
Of this bomb that dreams every beat

If you swear to me that everything happens and stays
Imprisoned in the wings of some second
I, riding the light, will break your wait
Wherever you are, whatever your world

If you assert that every note
I breathe hangs from some star
That I didn't force the sea, not even a drop
Your path to here, your little trace

If you tell me that everything will be and is mud
Under the foot of the semi-sculpted night
That every death, every explosion was worth it
To make this ground a higher step
