Me veo claramente

Clearly I See Myself

Clearly I see myself
chewing on a piece of grass,
Clearly I see myself
very dirty and happy,
Clearly I see myself
barefoot discovering a good river
of drowned plants,
Clearly I see myself
far from here,
Clearly I see myself
asking questions I already knew
with indifference towards 'you'll grow up,'
Clearly I see myself
so adventurous,
like a sugar and bread killer,
Clearly I see myself
if I look back.

Clearly I see myself
in the hand of a night,
place of learning with fear and patience
what love was,
I see myself squeezed in the warmth of some legs
swallowing planets one after another,
drenched in sweat,
I see myself half-raised in the light of that hour
laughing at the ceiling, laughing at her,
laughing at myself,
Clearly I see myself
so worthy of lovers
and brief countries of happiness,
Clearly I see myself,
I see myself clearly if I look back.

Clearly I see myself
marching to war campaigns among everything
and going after private wars as well,
Clearly I see myself
the first night with a guitar,
pale as when it was the first woman.

I see myself so attentive to internal noises
happily sadly,
truly wanting to be much better,
Clearly I see myself
looking for words that can give life and death to love,
Clearly I see myself,
I see myself if I look around
