Latido a Latido

Because this strange shiver
Incandescent in our embers
Moves from heat to cold
As death pierces us

Because tomorrow is already too late
And the scythes are not captive
Because the ember that still burns us
Shoots sparks of embers

My friend, I ask you
In this drifting burn
Your heart more ignited
So that the breath revives us
Heartbeat to heartbeat
Heartbeat to heartbeat

Because I loved you to ashes
From a fire we both fanned
And it resists and still stirs
From its funeral candles

Because living you was an impulse
That the volcanoes vomited
Because its lava, now pulseless
Still bathes us in tars

My friend, I ask you
In this drifting burn
Your heart more ignited
So that the breath revives us
Heartbeat to heartbeat
Heartbeat to heartbeat
