Poem

Jorge Bustamante García

POSTSCRIPT

Everything has been certain on this journey
That which has not happened and that which was and will be
That which saved love on the verge of the abyss
That which left us rain and summer
That which we never had and never wished for
That which was left outside of this voice
Outside of these lines which wanted
to become songs, verses
and which only became silence.

Todo ha sido cierto en este viaje
Lo que no ha sucedido y lo que fue y lo que será
Lo que salvó el amor en el borde del abismo
Lo que nos dejó la lluvia y el verano
Lo que nunca tuvimos y nunca deseamos
Lo que quedó por fuera de esta voz
Por fuera de estas líneas que quisieron
Convertirse en canto, en verso
Y apenas llegaron a silencio.
