Las palabras /Words

 

 Las palabras son mañosas,

no están en oferta,

 escurridizas, lobas sin manada,

 amagan, fluyen,

 no tienen dueño,

ni rinden pleitesía

a cetro alguno,

 honran sus raíces, lenguas,

al silencio que las precede y nombra.

 Amigas, siempre, rebeldes.

Words

Words are tricksters.

They do not linger in the market.

They slip away—

lone she-wolves beneath the moon.

They gesture, they wander,

owing nothing,

bowing to no crown.

They remember their roots,

their ancient tongues,

the silence that breathes before them

and summons them forth.

Allies, always.

Untamed.
