Agradecimiento / Rafael Cadenas

Gratitude

Hills behind the buildings,
unscathed bamboo trees,
mountain next to the parking lot,
pine trees clinging, roots in the air, miraculous,
birds that I hear as if they were singing in the book I read,
thank you for being there still.

One lives saying goodbye to things
that men don’t want to keep.
