D E L T I E M P O

Dried horizons,

of delirious promises
of draining works
of rubble hauling from earthquakes,
before cathedrals, before temples,
before stones from some volcano.

These are memories,
fragmented,
of continuous uprooting
of a city,
over a city,
over a landscape.

These horizons are now omens of abandon,

and silence,

and rain,

and a melancholic time that never stops transforming.

°°°

Bats, flowering shrubs
arise from the silence
of some concrete caves,
through waters that flood
the dreams of a past;

the impermanent space.

Asphalt is now the depth
of a lake with memory
that floods

layer upon layer

the stories of whims
visible in the plaster of the walls

It was a city of fire
the one that consumed,
the landscape and its water
through its reasons of existence.

°°°

Of this time, my face seeks its reflection on the earth’s ground.
