Servidume Tapecida / Hidden Servitude

Dellos nun se decaten de que los versos nun son namái un horru imaxinariu pa la señaldá, pa los suaños fendíos, pal tiempu echáu a beloxe, pa les solombres de les pallabres. De xemes en cuandu son barricaes escontra la servidume tapecida nes pallabres mercenaries de los que manexen el mundiu.
Some people do not understand that verses are not only an imaginary granary for melancholy, for the broken dreams, for the wasted time, for the shadows of the words. Sometimes, they are barricades against the servitude hidden in the mercenary words of those who manage the world.
