Poem
Gustavo Adolfo Garcés
Fortress
To stop you from passingI would have to raise
the drawbridge
if of course
the excavation was deep
and surrounded the fortress
but what to do without a moat
without a bridge
without a castle

Para impedirte el pasotendría que levantar
el puente levadizo
siempre
que la excavación fuera profunda
y circundara la fortaleza
pero qué hacer sin foso
sin puente
sin castillo
