Sitting alone, here
            While hearing the song of the wind
            Thinking of the migratory birds
            Thinking on the emptiness
            And the song of the wind got even stronger
            It’s like a submarine exploring my seabed
            Like I wish I could do with you
            The song of the wind is now silent
            And I still have a lump in the throat.
            There is a sort of a wall between us
            You built it because you are afraid
            And doing that, you scared me
            I can be a migratory bird and fly until
            I overcome your walls, until I touch you in a trivial dance
            I wish I could destroy it with a sword
            Or with a kiss
            I wish I could just sit next to you
            Just the two of us
            Walking down the streets of Bergolo
            Like tillandsia plant, I have no roots
            Like the folaghe, I have no roots
            So forgive me if, just for a moment
            I’ve been thinking on having roots
            So that they could touch the ground
            Drinking your water instead of mine
            Forgive me if I wish I could have stared into your eyes a bit
            longer


            Than the nothingness you allowed me to.
            ((Thanks for having being my muse and inspiration during
            the whole project.))
