Generations

An old man and a naked child are seen
playing in the sand, licked by the sea
the old man is very old, his beard is blue
the child is very young, his laughter is still intact
and they play at the world, history, life
common ... common .

There they break, they kiss, they leave
with old customs that disappear daily
and a bird passes by and starts to cry
and the old man and the child throw stones at it
as it has interrupted their sacred ritual
of love, of love .

A bird hangs from the hollow of the sky
a white bird in a state of heat
a bird has said it has seen life
a bird can if it wants start to cry
but who has seen a bird
have to speak? ... have to speak .

Who knows of water that heals pain?
who knows of a place that keeps love?
who knows a story that knows better?
who knows of an old man and a child playing in the sea?
and a white bird that has forgotten
how to fly? ... how to fly .
