A Tu Regreso

On your return, you'll see the wind
Licking the ground of the roads
And with a glance, you'll catch the trace
Of insects stitching the air

And the gold in pollen, ripe and fine
From the heart of the daisies
And the scents collected
That waited for you for long years

On your return, you'll have the shade
Fresh and round from the laurels
You'll see the white, floating breeze
That dances over the wells

And the noble juice, green and wild
From the lemon tree in the yard
And at night, the gentle breeze
That plays with the palm fronds

On your return, you'll bring that
Piece of something that was here yesterday
Knocking down mangoes around three
Sucking on sugarcane and stealing honey
On your return, you'll bring back here
What you carried inside of you
The full moon like a melon
And from our life, our reason

On your return, you'll see fireflies
That don’t shy away from the stars
And the joyful smoke from the fires
Glowing embers for your arrival

And in the dawns, a sky in a hurry
Stealing blue from the tiles
That abandoned the orange trees
When you left ten years ago
