Las ausencias
Debajo del palo
de mango
Los pies descalzos
Corriendo
Sobre la calle empedrada
Me duelen
Las memorias del maranon
Y el caimito
Cabalgando por el caminito
Que lleva hasta el fondo
Del rio
Me duelen los cheleles
Para la torta con huevo
La sandia y las guanabas
O el jugo de tamarindo
Me duele el ruido y la bulla
Que al final son lo mismo
Y no te dejan dormir
Con el endemoniado calor
Y el zumbar de los mosquitos
Me duele el amor que queda
Cuando los otros se han ido
Pero sobre todo me duele
El no tenerte conmigo
Y es que aunque a veces queramos
No nos alcanza la vida
Para trepar las murallas
O para cruzar el olvido.
Espero nunca te olvides
Que aunque no estes a mi lado
Siempre te llevo conmigo.
(a mi madre)
