you left without having touched the light
to light the house of that Pedro,
of that José, of that María Paula;
you followed along, to the newspapers,
to the white houses of prostitutes
with fine names and without memorials.

of the black grim reaper and her boat on the run
hungry for those who were waiting for you,
and Pedro, José and María Paula will come
to have dinner with her for never finding you,
woman with a name that deludes and kills,
or illusion with a name, or woman who overwhelms,
the town was waiting for you, it was waiting for you,
under the red signs of vile oz,
and you were the hammer that fell there
for not having gone, and having forgotten us.
