Raúl Guerrero Montemayor - Un Padre y Compadre
México, Distrito Federal 18 de diciembre, 2012 |
en la noche despierta asustado pensando que le falto otro
y hay mañanas en que realmente le falta otro
y más encogido y más solo se siente y a persona o cosa
que ve le dice adiós con los ojos
y ahí en su silla atraviesa los días como el pasajero único
de una barca crujiente en un mar tempestoso
the old man counts his friends before falling asleep and
often wakes in the night afraid thinking that one is missing
and some mornings one really is missing
and he feels more shrunken and alone and he says goodbye
with his eyes to everyone or thing he sees
and there in his chair he crosses the days like the only
passenger in a creaking ship on a stormy sea.
