News Summary
I have been within everyone's reach,
Because it costs nothing to look inside.
I have been within everyone's hands
Who have wanted to touch my hand in friendship.
But, poor me, I have not been with the prisoners
Of their own comfortable minds.
I have not been with those who laugh with only half a laugh,
The spring delimiters.
I have not been in the archives or in the stationery stores
And I am filed in copies and not in originals.
I have not been in the big markets of the word,
But I have said my piece, timely and smiling.
I have not been counting the spots in the sun,
Because I know that the whole world fits in a single spot.
I have tried to be a great mortified one,
So, if I mortify, they won't accuse me.
Although it is said that I have too many enemies,
Everyone listens to me quietly when I sing.
I have preferred to talk about impossible things,
Because too much is known about the possible.
I have preferred the dust like this, simply,
Because the word love still sounds hollow to me.
I have preferred a blow like this, from time to time,
Because immunity is eating away at my bones.
I thank everyone who participated
In this melody.
The important task of the pursuers
Of any birth should be emphasized.
If someone listening feels portrayed,
Know that it is done with that destiny.
Any complaints, without a letterhead.
Good night, friends and enemies.
