odd timing


like the setting of the sun in winter
like the coming of a storm in june

like the feeling that will never wither
much like falling into secret pain

finding corners, in a sea of servants
moving blindly through a maze you know
touching slowly, inadvertently
fearing a witness in the eyes of all

this came along
unexpected
this came along
by itself

it came unlooked for
it came unbidden
to drive my senses
to drive my self

I can't deny this
neither can you
our thoughts betray us
much more than you

this broken moment
a gap in space
a section of darkness
unforgiving fate

how odd the timing
how cool your face
in spite of madness
will we lose ourselves?

Repercusiones


Se cayó el cielo
y la luna estalló

El instante, oscuro
dibujó tu figura
bajo un umbral sin color

Tanta ira desbocada
tanta emoción desenfrenada
a riendas sueltas el momento,
se perdió tanto de esto

Inmóvil quedé
y mi respirar olvidé

La idea, esa ternura
consumida en esta enorme locura
delicada y diferente
como cuando el viento cambia de repente

Como cuando cambias
como cuando sientes
Como cuando evitas su mirada
y ni la luna ni el sol te lo resiente
