My man from youth grew
  Your life was full of superiority;

Virgen de Guadalupe
scrape her roses from the floor
The lighted path shimmers
in the mountains
as we walk like goats
surefooted and into high

From the arsenal of an old strong warlord
Surefooted to cut down a long strong rod.

Which its pungency hurts than a cutter.
Idleness;...

EVENING



Evening falls and wings are folded
Darkness clothes the weary sky
Birdsong awaits the daybreak
And rest descends on all
