You are older
you are getting closer to your parents' age
now you understand certain things
that you didn't understand before
you understand, for example, that nothing is as easy
or as simple as it seems;
you understand, for example, that you always walk
on the edge of the knife and that it only takes one stumble
to start doing everything wrong again;
you understand that loneliness doesn't always come alone,
that it sometimes brings birds that know how to sing in the rain
and bees that clumsily repeat the name of the days,
faces that hit against a window!
you are older
and now you would like to eat the landscape
and if you can, its ashes too.
you will have to hurry you say while sipping the mate
what is worth it is usually that which one
didn't have in one's plans.
