Poema de Ausencia

from Mi Voz by Roy y sus Rollos

/

lyrics

Tío, tu ausencia
es un cuarto obscuro
donde yo estoy
perdido entre las piedras
del piso duro.

Hace cuatro meses que no estas.
Hemos puesto tu fotografía
en el periódico, y en los postes de la calle

Sigo esperando, tu regreso.

Extraño tu sonrisa
chica y contenida
tu caminar lento y esquizofrénico
que en tu mundo de locura
me daba un jardín
donde había un girasol
donde nos sentábamos a platicar.
Extraño tu caricia
como una flor con dedos suaves
sobre mi espalda y mi cabeza
y tu perfume de colonia dulce
recuerdo tus brazos fuertes al cargarme
al subir las escaleras de la casa.

Sigo esperando, tu regreso.

A través de la poesía
puedo mantenerte a mi lado.

------------------------------


Uncle, your absence
is a wide dark room
where I am lost among the stones
of the hard floor.

It’s been four months
since you have gone missing
We have put your photograph
in the news and in the street posts.

I still await your return.

I miss your smile
small and contained your slow schizophrenic walk that in your world of madness
gave me a garden where there was a sunflower where we would sit together and talk.
I miss your caress like a flower with soft fingers on my head and back. and your sweet cologne I remember your strong arms carried me up the staircase of the house.

I still await your return through poetry I keep you by my side.
