Entre Nosotros
Patricio Manns
Between Us
You lost the moss, the sunflower, the net,
You lost the wheat, the water, and the land,
You lost the light that rose from the south,
You lost by leaving the route of the sea.
I lost the wood, the fire, the flint,
I lost the rope, the nail, the link,
I lost track of the days and
I lost the sense of your heart.
How dare you
To cut the knots
With which existence
Tied us naked.
Tell me.
I lost your chest, your ritual, your voice,
You lost my confused reality.
And so we left each other
Jumping over the threshold of eternity.
I lost the wood, the fire, the flint,
I lost the rope, the nail, the link,
I lost track of the days and
I lost the sense of your heart.
