Mi Soledad Sola
Pastoral
My Lonely Solitude
One morning
Through my window
A bird came in
It asked me
If I could talk with it
It told me how many
Men saw it and ignored it
It told me things
That I listened to attentively
Why is it
That my loneliness
Is alone
And so sad?
No one tells me
I have a problem
Tell me something
They only ask
They only answer
And nothing more
I also dream
Wet dreams
Just dreams
And they ask me
Why at night
They hear me talk
Why is it
That my loneliness
Is alone
And so sad?
Before leaving
It said crying
Never forget me
I truly love you
Like a simple bird
I love no one
It left crying
And I watched
Through the window
For the first time
In many years
I cried and cried
Why would it be
That my loneliness
Was no longer
Alone and sad?
