Joaquín Sabina
Inventory
The things you tell me when you're silent
The birds nesting in your hands
The hollow of your body between the sheets
The time we spend insulting each other
The fear of old age, the calendars
The taxis running in terror
The dignity lost somewhere
The crazy violinist, the coats
The moons I've kissed in your eyes
The dense smell of spilled semen
The story that mocks us
The panties you forgot in the closet
The space you occupy in my soul
The doll saved from the fire
Madness lurking crouched
The daily battle between two bodies
My room with its bullfighting poster
The crying in the corners of oblivion
The ashes that remain, the remains
The child we never had
The time of pain, the holes
The cat meowing on the roof
The past barking like a dog
Exile, bliss, portraits
The rain, the helplessness, the speeches
The papers that never brought us together
The redemption I seek between your thighs
Your name on the cover of the notebook
Your way of warming my heart
The cell you occupied in a prison
My drifting boat, my song
The roar of the wind among the trees
The silence you wield like a wall
So many beautiful things that have died
The tyrannical empire of the absurd
The dark attics of desire
The father who died when you were a child
The kiss rotting on our lips
The lime on the walls, the apathy
The beach inhabited by worms
The shipwreck of so many certainties
The collapse of gods and myths
The darkness around like a tunnel
The bed sailing in the void
The crumbling of the house
Sex rescuing us from boredom
The scream that pierced the dawn
Love as a ritual around the fire
Insomnia, bliss, cigarette butts
The arduous learning of respect
The wounds that not even God takes away
The shit we drag without remedy
Everything they gave us and took away
The years that passed so quickly
The bread we shared, the caresses
The weight we carry in our hands
