Sabor Salado
Diego Gutiérrez
Salty Flavor
I saw you pass by last night like a light
Shattered by the stone of yesterday
Leaving a trail of water and carnation
Without stirring the air
I saw you pale against the light
Or did my eyes deceive me again?
Because you saw me
Or you pretended to see me
Damn, and I wish I was wrong
But I felt a salty flavor
Like cut lips
When I was shaving
You sat on a bench like it was
As if the night hadn’t changed
After the world came to a stop
And I was tripping out
My mask of laughter followed you
The steps of a happy woman
Who knows no other pain
Than just living
Damn, and I wish I was wrong
But I felt a salty flavor
Like cut lips
When I was shaving
