Sereno Como Aquellas Mañanas
Silvina Garre
Calm Like Those Mornings
Calm like the rain that came without a word
one night you’ll see me pass
in front of your window
your imagination can do more than I can
it can make you see a picture from yesterday.
Calm like in the stories where the good guy shows up
some voice will make you think of me
but it won’t be me
your imagination can make you hear
it can make a photo from yesterday talk.
Calm like life makes you noble while you wait
some clothes will remind you
of my jester's outfit
and it won’t be me, nor your imagination
it’ll be someone who wants to share.
Calm like those mornings
when the hours didn’t matter
and while you were getting up
I, half-asleep, was thinking.
Calm like the kids who are fine, even without speaking
that’s how love should be
if I’m not wrong
or your imagination can drive you crazy
with pain and humiliation.

Calm
calm like those mornings
calm
when the hours didn’t matter
calm
calm like those mornings
calm
when the hours didn’t matter.
