not stay still on the edge of the road
not cool not to love the joy
indolent
not save you hours and never
not save you do not fill
not keep calm in the world just a quiet corner
do not close your eyelids weigh
Judgements
not stay without lips
not sleep without sleeping
not think bloodless
not to judge but if
timeless
despite everything you can not avoid
and cool the joy and love with indolence
and still save you and fills you with calm and keep the world
just a quiet corner and let her eyelids fall
scales as judgments
and you wipe your lips without
and sleep without sleep and think and judge without blood
timeless and still you stop
side of the road and save you time
not stay with me.
From "Poems of the other" by Mario Benedetti, poet urugaiano died May 17, founder of the March 26 Movement in opposition to the military regime (1973/1986) and then in exile in Cuba and Spain.
