I no longer talk about 

How life stops gazing
at tomorrow,
how life freezes dreams
in our daily drudgery.

I no longer talk about
an endless road,
the ruins

of a pining nation,
the silence
of our song.

I whisper my poverties
in the ears of my solitude.

I illuminate my cave
with the light of my dreams.
