en la espera

Sigo esperando cosas que no llegan,

momentos que no existen y que añoro

tiempos que no serán documentados


converso conmigo mismo,

escribo lo que siento

lo expongo y espero


y se pasan las horas esperando las reacciones

pues aunque estoy seguro que soy leído

y sentido, no recibo respuesta


camino, lavo ropa,

como, riego las plantas,

me siento y espero


vivo de los recuerdos de un verano,

de los momentos que no fueron documentados

y espero cosas que no llegarán

A girl like you

I want a girl like you

with an undefined ethnicity,

a tall and proud woman

who can sing her way into my world


a woman who can split atoms,

discover new infinites,

a woman who can teach me

the secrets of science


someone who can follow me

when I get arrested for dissenting,

from revolting, who can in solidarity

be a sister, and a companion


a creator, an experimenter,

a singer, someone who can calm

a crowd with the mellow tones

of her alto voice


a head adorned with silver,

signs of knowledge and wisdom,

a voice that can calm the revolt

that lives in my head


a fountain of life,

the brewmaster of a concoction

that blends the best of me

and the magic of you


a caregiver that never rests,

the one who is not intimidated

by my wounds, my pain,

or my incapacities


someone who does not own me,

who cares for my independence,

my thought, my feeling,

who sets me free and waits


I want a girl like you

or maybe I should say

I want to find myself in your arms

the day I die
