Escribo

I write
Each letter is a seed
That germinates
I don't know the outcome
Of my life
I write and I am pure consciousness
I am memory
I write so I don't forget
Our story

I write with my body divided
In raw flesh
Remembering you, my love
Every day
And I write you the saddest
Verses tonight
And Neruda laughs
Without reproach

It's seven-thirty in the evening
And I write because I can't forget you
And it's seven-thirty of destiny
That abruptly took us off the path
And I write, and I write

I write
To not be so alone in your departure
And I know you're here on the same shore
I write and feel that your laughter
Illuminates me
I write because I have a lot
Of hunger for your life

It's seven-thirty, my dear
And today the farewell is harder
And it's seven-thirty and I can't find
The sleeping beauty of my tale
And I write, and I write
I write, I write
