We build words of cement Poem by Teresa Pascual

We build words of cement



We build words of cement
and create words of silence.
The half-open window, the window,
the frame of a greyer and wider darkness.
If I spoke to you, you would fold your hands
and would not let them speak to me,
if I kissed you, you would close your eyes
and would not let them kiss me.
