ONE FAREWELL MAY HIDE ANOTHER was published by Libros del Aire in Spain in 2015 and is presented to the English lovers of poetry in the translation of Enriqueta Carrington. DISTANCE~~~~~~~~~And one dayIn the distanceDistance will no longer existAnd we'll be unitedAnd it won't require disuniting other voicesAnd one dayThat eternal day, the day before creationWhen we were all one, that effervescent unityWhich we were, unity awaiting dispersalThat day which is already within us, which we already knowThat day which guides us through trees, branches and rhymesLike a distant light we don't recognize as our beaconThat day is already within meIt's already within you. IF THEY COME LOOKING FOR ME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Say The soil was dampAnd my shoes were calling me for a walkBackwardsWith slowStepsSayThe sea was sereneAnd the small wavesWere escaping the beachSayThat the sun was full of lovelySpotsThat the moon was emptyThat the soil my ancestorsTrod for centuriesWas buried undergroundAnd wept my absence.
