That your son sees you with a book,
even if you don't read it
let him see you with a standing book
next to the window,
and he cries and laughs and say things like
this is incredible
either
what a wonderful phrase
although it is believable
and although at that moment the phrase is not,
give him the legend of the book
once upon a time there was a wonderful book
but tell him not to remember his name
force him to look for it all his life
give him that Grail,
go around the house with an open book under your eyes
kitchen with a book under the arm
that one day I begin to suspect
what the hell is inside a book
will tell
that takes my father to heaven like this
and he returns it to me made a reindeer a spear
a shroud of gods and horses,
never ever tell him to read
because it will be in vain
just go hand in hand with a book.
and you will never ever leave him alone.
and the day that you are no longer here
he will keep walking hand in hand
that is to say
he will follow your steps
he will follow your books.
