Translated from the Spanish by James Storbakken
Ahead, a long line of wayward shadows
And the house with all the lights on:
A ghost haunts this place.
Nobody is breathing in the house.
And someone is floating within the keys of a presence,
Someone who today feels the opportunity to contemplate
Another night has been absolutely dismantled,
And who is furthermore lost out in the streets of their
Own labyrinth.
Somebody peeks from a
Door of the inhabited house.
And then withdrawals,
Indistinguishable from the thousands of
Bodies as they parade into the void.
