Xe M. Sánchez
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.
