"Small World" and "Sin Soñar / Without Dreaming"
Small World
In my hand
a fistful of dirt,
a small world
with tiny people,
I spotted
my minuscule twin,
and I blew
the dirt off, my twin
included,
the small world gone,
the people,
too, and I washed
my hands clean.
World destroyer
is the phrase
I heard the most.
Without DreamingI slept without dreaming. |
Sin SoñarDormía sin soñar. |
