Escribo Por Ejemplo

If I only write
I think that each verse
Is one more friend, in the battle
And I like to write about the times
About the need for the word
I write for example
My people that are in my body
On the road, in the footprint, in the bread
My people distribute the fish
On the table where they must arrive
My people receive my verses
In your arms where they will nest
My people your reason is life
That starts walking again

I look for the paths for the tree
The necessary hollow for the building
The embankment for the ancient sowing
A piece of moon half-closed
The clarity of the sun over the absence

It doesn't matter if you carve a tear
It doesn't matter if it rhymes with life
It doesn't matter if your verse is painful
That we are starting again
Let's invent new paths
Hope is the vital song
We must open all the doors to the sun
And let tomorrow start walking

Let's go, we must walk
Let's go, we must walk
Let's go, we must walk
