they left on earth
languages, buildings, thrones of snow and fire,
they marched to the limits
they opened those lines at the point of philosophies and screams
when they got tired of thinking and arguing with words
they did it with picks and shovels,
they used everything they had on their bodies
they left villages on fire
dead birds hanging from the ropes of the yards
they made a pyre with the souls that swore love and love
before the sea
they turned towards the mountains
We said they bowed under their holy impatience
the limits of everything: they ruined mathematics and grapes,
they disfigured the figures and columns of the temples
they enjoyed they laughed they cried they bit they regurgitated their amazement
shoulder to shoulder they left the earth
nobody knows where they are
angry drunks reading literature from India or the center of
America, we said they left the earth
and that nobody even wonders
because nobody cares
beyond good and evil doesn't really matter
where is it that they delimited their saliva their postscript their blue street
the eternal wretches
lovers who carry the banners of ash and light.
