The winter cracked, announcing a death rattle
_____
Its light went out after one last gleam
_____
And this peace, so much peace, clouded by tears
_____
Honestly, it irritated me on such a bitter day
Like I always do when I wake up
_____
Like a reflex, though I know you're far
Looking for specks of sun
And so a radiance emerges
Like a diamond among coal
_____
And when you launch into your verses
_____
That's my great skill
The Lliberdón dragged away
_____
To learn at an age when the world tends to daze
_____
Letting yourself cry in every ghostly hour
_____
To understand that living is escape and fragility
And though there's no completeness
Rummage until you find splendor
I heard your voice from Llué
Every phrase was an animal
You're walking among ruins
And a polar bear explodes
But now birds are coming in
_____
Through the unclosed windows
_____
I am amazed once again
_____
That's my great skill
