LITTLE STONES AT MY WINDOW
Once in a while
joy throws little stones at my window
it wants to let me know that it’s waiting for me
but today I’m calm
I’d almost say even-tempered
I’m going to keep anxiety locked up
and then lie flat on my back
which is an elegant and comfortable position for receiving and believing news
who knows where I’ll be next
or when my story will be taken into account
who knows what advice I still might come up with and what easy way out I’ll take not to follow it
don’t worry, I won’t gamble with an eviction
I won’t tattoo remembering with forgetting
there are many things left to say and suppress
and many grapes left to fill our mouths
don’t worry, I’m convinced
joy doesn’t need to throw any more little stones
I’m coming I’m coming.
TACTIC AND STRATEGY
My tactic is to look at you
To learn the way you are
To love you the way you are
My tactic is to speak to you
And listen to you
To build with words
An indestructible bridge
My tactic is
To remain in your memory
I don't know how or
With what pretext
But to remain in you
My tactic is to be frank
And to know that you are frank
And that we don't sell each other
Pretenses
So between us
There is no curtain
Or abyss
My strategy is instead
More profound and more simple
My strategy is
Than any day
I don't know how or
With what pretext
At last you will need me
