El momento de las alianzas

⸢Will I climb the ladder of my curiosity once more,
to say hello to the good God who is pacing on the roof of my house?

I feel I have run out of time,
I feel it's the moment
to join one of those papers of History.

I feel
tables are fake distances
between my hair
and the hands of a sad stranger.

Tell me a word!
What else He, who has granted you the kindness of a live body,
can expect from you except
your understanding of feeling alive?

Tell me a word!
I am by the window,
I am connected to the sun.⸥
