Let´s find new chalk
for the spring coming,
burning ideas,
more wood, please.
Let´s make doves fly.
We are lonely
next to the path
to get a sight
of that huge Christ image.
Stern stone gaze
towards that forgotten margin
of the city,
where hard-boiled kids
keep their hearts locked,
pretending to be something
that cannot possibly be.
Is it a blessing those open arms?
The north wind breaks on the hills
and wistles notes hard to swallow
for the pure ears of those
who can´t smile
and throw stones.
Old chalk dust,
Where is the wood?
It is still cold in spring.
Wood keeps burning
but it´s no use.
Luis Gil de la Puente
