“We have risen so many times of faded auroras;
between the shadows and flaps of things
that kill the mornings of illusions.
The price of life auctioned
and the death that walks,
after the poor people
. The anxiety of my word is such (They put me in it, if necessary),
that escapes my hands.
Maybe it’s my certain potion for the one who has nothing,
for the one who lives sheltered from the burden.
For such a tiny eternity,
I try to abolish all distance;
open the successive doors of silences
, raising my voice … confronting injustice …
I bring life,
I decentralize the tricks,
I give you the password to the promised land:
We poets know when the seed is fertile
and we wrote poetry, in the memory of the peoples”
“Nos hemos levantado tantas veces
de auroras desteñidas;
entre las sombras y solapas de las cosas,
que asesinan las mañanas de ilusiones.
El precio de la vida subastado
y la muerte que anda,
tras la gente pobre.
Es tal la ansiedad de mi palabra
(que me amortajen en ella,
si es preciso),
que se me escapa de las manos.
Tal vez sea mi pócima certera
para el que nada tiene,
para aquel que habita
al abrigo del agobio.
Por una eternidad tan pequeñita,
intento abolir toda distancia;
abrir las puertas sucesivas
de silencios,
alzando mi voz…
confrontando la injusticia…
Apalabro la vida,
descentro las argucias,
le doy el santo y seña
a la tierra prometida:
Los poetas sabemos
cuando es fértil la semilla
y escribimos poesía,
en la memoria de los pueblos.”
“A TIEMPO:
No es tarde.
Sigo a pie desandando laberintos de mis penas,
volviendo a construirme
sin errores de cálculo.
Me he visto sucumbir
en tu regazo,
hundirme muda
en la vorágine del tiempo,
como si todos los pecados del mundo
hubieran desvanecido
dentro mío,
inventando distancias…
provocando ausencias…
Me obstino una vez más
a darme por vencida,
a permitir que me arrecien vendavales.
Elijo el cielo
y las golondrinas de mi alma
levantan nuevos vuelos.
Superan la altura de la palabra,
que late entre mis labios
y con un guiño amoroso hacia la vida,
exhalo versos.”
“PALABRAS:
Hay historias y libros
que no atrevo a leer.
Algunos libros hondos,
en los que aún consigues esconderte.
Peldaños de papel que turbulentan mi memoria
y estoy desbaratada en el recuerdo.
Papel inesperado
otoñando mis ojos,
haciendo de la nada un ser latente
y al leerte,
las estrellas muertas
espolvorean mis sentires.
No saldré indemne de tus letras.
¿Cómo explicarte?
Que sigues encerrando mi palabra
entre tus versos…”
“SOY:
Soy la tierra
gestando en la semilla,
la incierta esperanza del rebrote.
Soy la duda de la duda,
soy azote,
capitán de las ternezas de tu alma.
Soy la voz en el silencio,
soy reproche,
de quien quiera matar las ilusiones.
Soy quien habla en el susurro de los vientos.
Soy la flor que vence
a la ceniza.
Soy la calma.
Soy la prisa del sueño de amor
Inmarchitable.
Soy alquimia
y ternura indescifrable,
del corazón deshilachado
de quien sufre.
Soy el nervio que tensiona la palabra.
Soy lo opuesto de lo opuesto.
Soy el tiempo…
que se esconde y eterniza
entre mis versos.
Soy abismo y hondonada,
cordura y sortilegio…
Soy locura
y la pluma que rubrica lo que pienso
Soy acierto y desconcierto.
Soy huella, camino y estocada.
Soy espada que traspasa la injusticia.
Soy caricia.
Soy la meta.
Soy poeta.”
