Perdón
Lisandro Aristimuño
Sorry
(((Your attention please, the company
has announced its flight number 345 to Antwerp)))
I contemplated your loneliness,
I was silent, it was cloudy,
tense drops were slipping.
That day I left
I wanted to bury myself,
feeling like a cactus
that pricked if you got closer.
I couldn't test my speed,
I felt like a minstrel waiting to heal.
Each verse became grayer,
the meeting cried,
the dinner lasted
and the silence sounded like a waltz,
it devoured my mind,
screamed inside,
ate from the edge
left by the rocks in the sea.
I couldn't test my ability,
I started crying waiting to heal.
Sorry I didn't want to leave and when I came back you were gone,
you thought it was normal...
I contemplated your loneliness, each verse became grayer...
I count every note that sounded worn out.
