Poems

My tactic is to look at you

learn as you are

love you as you are

my tactic is to talk to you

and listen to you

building an indestructible bridge with words

my tactic is to stay in your memory

I don’t know how and I don’t know

under what pretext

but stay in you

my tactic is to be frank

and know that you are frank

and that we don’t sell ourselves simulations

so that between the two there is no curtain

no chasms

my strategy is instead

deeper and simpler

my strategy is that one day

I don’t know how and I don’t know

under what pretext

you finally need me.

– “Tactics and Strategy” by Mario Benedetti

I had a dream last night.

I dreamt I was walking on the beach

in your company.

On the night screen

the days of my life were projected.

I looked back and saw footprints in the sand:

one print from me and one from you.

When my days are over

I stood up and looked back.

I saw that in some places there was only one print.

Those sites coincided

with the days of greatest anguish, of greatest fear,

of the greatest pain of my life.

So I asked you:

You said you’d be with me

every day of my life?

Why did you leave me alone,

right at the worst times?

You answered me:

The days that you have seen a single footprint on the sand,

have been the days

in which I have carried you in my arms.

– Footprints, Anonymous
