Listen to poem:
Como la hierba, crece tu lado oscuro
y tendremos que esperar al otoño para sentir
que cada pedazo de ti cae seco
y amarillo
crujiente,
hasta conseguir una cara nueva
y, cada mañana, prometer lo innombrable.

Esperar es una prueba difícil
si, en cada espera,
hay una promesa que embriaga al ser y lo llena de todo con nada
y respira.
Respira tiempo.

Tardes, cartas, llamadas, amores, trabajo, otra vida.
Siempre esta tarea.

Hi Almudena, please forgive me if I translate your poems incorrectly, but I find this one to be lovely, sad but lovely. The hopelessness felt while waiting for change, as life lingers from day to day, can seem endless.
