Ya no
José Larralde
Not anymore
And I went far away,
to look closely at what close
made me see far away,
and I went very alone,
to find company
with the solitudes that in the end...
in the end are mine,
and I went with cold
to seek warmth,
to find warmth
for my brightness,
I embittered at dawn
with sweet words
and sweetened my mouth
with bitter hours,
and I cried in silence,
and I silenced the screams,
and I inhaled emptiness
to blow into the wind,
and I bit my lips
to bleed a kiss
and enlarged my shadow
with the light of reason,
I dug into the belly
the root of the chest
and found nothing...
of what was done.
And I went very alone,
to find company with
the solitudes
that in the end are mine.
And I straightened the path
looking for where to find
a rest for forgetting,
and forgetting to rest,
I straightened the path
and in the footprint I found you,
with a forgetfulness you arrived,
that's why I remembered you,
now I look ahead,
I don't want to look back,
I stay with your memory,
I no longer intend to forget.
Your memory...
your memory casts a shadow on me,
your shadow is just earth,
how much earth is in my eyes
when your shadow goes away,
for being earth and for being shadow
I can always look at you.
Now I look ahead,
I don't want to look back,
I stay... with your memories,
I no longer intend to forget.
