stay human
Must one really talk to humans to stay human?
Is it not enough to watch life pass by
and ride on the eddies of its momentum
to spin the next tale?
Must one always try to be good to stay human?
Is it not enough to wake up every day
just to see the sun
only to close the shutters
and wait for the stars to come out?
Must one always create to stay human?
Is it not enough that one learns not to step on cracks
not to make a sound
not to take up space
because to do so would create a problem and then you'd be less human and more problem-
wouldn't you?
Must one always strive for reclamation, a proclamation, a cry in the night to prove the echo has substance in order to stay human?
Is it not enough to cling to the trellis
grow on the walls
hold on to everything you come across
just to pass the time?
Must one always crave intimacy to stay human?
Is it not enough that one becomes the eyes in the dark
blinking slowly in time with one's breathing
even if there is no one to watch?
Must one remember to stay human?
Is it not enough that one has déjà vu
for a life that was never theirs?
Tell me: how do you stay human
when you feel like a ghost haunting your own body?

en vez de romperme el corazón lo congelaste, con tu frío inmenso mi alma bloqueaste y así cada instante importante sin razón se volvió una metáfora amarte
entre cuatro paredes, el baúl de mis letras
