Corvus
Corvus
I was very sleepy with my eyes wide open like apples,
Since that night I only slept at intervals.
A figure in the dark, I was scared to death.
"Tuck yourself in, boy, it gets chilly at night".
Like a fallen angel reigning in darkness,
He came out at sunset from a rocky sky,
Showing off the wings of the sin over the black valley,
Staying hidden, silent in the foliage.
By what right did you take us that summer
Plenty of smell of peaches, bicycles near the river,
Dancing on the dance floor, country afternoons and hazel trees?
We were kids chasing life through the streets.
"Forgive them, for they know not what they do",
Said Jesus when he was dying on the cross.
A great thunder tore the clouds,
The stare of a child was broken.
Where was your God when you touched my skin?
And where was mine when, frightened, I kept silent?
I still feel that smell of consecrated bread and sweet wine,
Cassocks, sermons, crosses covered in dust.
An obituary in the paper brings me back
To an old mountain refuge many years ago,
Your blemish in the coffin for all eternity,
If only the memories could be taken by the wind too.
"Forgive them, for they know not what they do",
Said Jesus when he was dying on the cross.
A great thunder tore the clouds,
The stare of a child was broken.
