Estar / Rafael Cadenas

Being There

I try to be
present.
Is it necessary?

I’m not asking
for anything.
I go along
lightly.

I have plenty
of what I don’t have.
I can even give it to you.

I’ll become whatever you want
like an actor.
Any mask
goes well with an unoccupied face.

I’ll oblige you
with losing
the path.
