waiting
we waited
while looking for
we lost
what was found.

the orange benches in the park
-a glass of crashes-
the banderillero of the clouds
bursts his shirt.
he shows up with his belly
between the buttons.

the benches
play payana
with sparrows knuckles.

it is not dread to silence
that every time says more
it’s the words that shrink.

payana (also called tinenti)

is a game played by kids with 5 little rolling stones
