Sonia Wants to Rent an Apartment |
by José Manuel Sevilla
Nobody prays in this building but we all live full of grace. Come in and sit down, in an evening like this I took a cigarette from Maria’s lips.
Forgive that there is always bad weather in this window and forgive this clock stopped at 8.15 Hiroshima time.
Forgive our thoughts like bed sheets where a body fought the fever.
Forgive that we look like being better when we are really just older.
Forgive that in a world like this we became parents and forgive if after the car bomb I buy you a drink.
Now come with me to my old school, I will lead you to a class without the cross that I took away, in an evening like this I wrote a phrase on the blackboard that nobody erased because the soldiers arrived. |
