  not even have time to scream.

  I do not always remember

  my steps

  You not recognize them.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you have not seen your mother die

  and right after your father's heartbreak.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you have not at least once

  composed their phone number

  forgetting for a moment

  that there are more.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you do not know what it means

  be experienced without the approval of a grandfather

  without the advice of an aunt.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you do not know what it means

  believing they can get a hug for empathy

  and do not ever receive in life.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you've never waited

  with the ball in hand

  a friend who will not come.

  You do not know what is loneliness

  if you've never asked Him

  what to do

  and you did not recognize His answer.

  Strawberry

  I noticed

  petite strawberry

  this morning

  on the edge of the garden.

  You were bright red

  from the shadow of the laurel

  powerful protection

  from burning thirst

  this summer sun.

  From what woods you come

  and how you survived

  I do not know.

  I have not seen in time

  that your three leaflets

  they played with rims for violin

  the harmony of the wind

  spring

  your five white petals.

  Fragraria, is your name

  old as

  your essence intense,

  uproariously

  irresistible temptation

  I already predisposes

  to taste you.

  Now your sweet taste

  flower limit yourself to the woods

  I was left in his mouth,

  only trace of you

  feeling fresh grass

  meticulous decoration

  I'll still searching

  you wild fragrance

  and as a lover

  I fall in love

  to the bitter end.

  27

  You go

  You go slow with the weight on the shoulders

  of all that has been

  on aching feet

  on tired legs

  there is the strength of will

  to defense by the events

  you go cautious

  ready to retire

  the protective shell

  of all that has been done

  and the rest

  it does not matter at all.

  Simple song

  Return for the last time

  and listening to the voice of the wind

  I wish it were not the same

  of my youth.

  Perhaps you know it's different

  maybe you cannot make me feel lost.

  The wind takes me crying

  of a newborn abandoned

  I can feel the discomfort

  I am distressed.

  Perhaps you have a different future

  maybe you can squeeze your chest now.

  The wind takes me shreds

  of young lives betrayed

  were false guides and models

  I can hear the rancor

  between his fingers.

  Perhaps you have a different future

  maybe you can be a father now.

  The wind carries the offense on the cheek

  seems to the case the first time

  but it is repeated again

  I can feel the pain

  that does not make noise.

  Maybe you can love

  and love her the same

  maybe you can make her happy now.

  The wind brings music enhanced

  more, more, more

  I can hear laughter immoderate

  and then desperate cries.

  Maybe you can hold his hand

  maybe you can let her know

  What is a man now.

  Maybe you know that it can be different,

  maybe you'll find me.

  29

  And let me be sure

  Ephemeral light

  chimera unsearchable

  explode in the night

  and leave me the illusion

  possible

  as my wishes

  property thoughts

  become beliefs.

  Instead it is not so

  chimera slides in the dark

  and leave me the certainty

  the impossible

  as my logic

  solid fortress

  become convention.

  ***

  30

  And then someone

  And then someone will close the door.

  It will be a slight gesture

  It will be a slow movement

  silent

  It will be the time.
