Carlos Bedoya

EXODUS

To be alone is not enough
silence and stillness are not enough either
I listen to the musical grinding of my jaws
to someone who declaims in the bubbles of my
                                                                                   stomach
The dream survives
but how shall I burst the pipes of this comfortable
inferno?

ÉXODUS

ÉXODUS

Estar solo no basta.
el silencio y la quietud tampoco son suficientes
escucho el crujir musical de mis mandíbulas
alguien que declama en las burbujas de mi 
                                                                                estómago
Sobrevive el sueño
¿pero cómo reventare la tubería de este infierno
confortable?

                                                                                   stomach
The dream survives
but how shall I burst the pipes of this comfortable
inferno?

EXODUS

To be alone is not enough
silence and stillness are not enough either
I listen to the musical grinding of my jaws
to someone who declaims in the bubbles of my
                                                                                   stomach
The dream survives
but how shall I burst the pipes of this comfortable
inferno?
