Dobles

You gave me double
Different colors and promises
Of innocent lives
The double
Of dilated pupils
And shining dark circles

The double
Of intangible treasures and surprises
Of laughter and good luck
The double
Of thinking that the ghosts
Have fled forever

Multiplication
Miracle for non-believers
Sweet wine and rum
On a Tuesday the thirteenth

Celebration
With bread and plenty
Holy days
Thirty-first of December

I split in two
Now I breathe double
I sleep less but better
I wake up on kinder grounds
Change of color
I play with your name
I feed on the taste
Of new guard and majesties

We are doubles
We imitate the quirks and disasters
The virtues and the celebrations
Of men
We duplicate our gestures
We share our journeys

Doubles
We are sleeplessness, we are tireless search
We are mill, we are Sanchos
And Quijotes
Improved photocopies
We are breeze, we are blow

Multiplication
Miracle for non-believers
Sweet wine and rum
On a Tuesday the thirteenth

Celebration
With bread and plenty
Holy days
Thirty-first of December

I split in two
Now I breathe double
I sleep less but better
I wake up on kinder grounds
Change of color
I play with your name
I feed on the taste
Of new guard and majesties
