Several chairs are sitting,
beautiful and empty,
signifying fine, unseated existence.

It is Sunday for you too.
In our separation,
we share weekdays.
It will turn
The tide will turn,
it will be low, the sea will withdraw.
It will become dry.
It will be a desert, and your name will not be written on the sand.

Night will not reconsider, however much I ruin.
And if I build, night will not reconsider either,
it will fall on me, as many times as necessary,
until I forget that in the morning something bright rains, parallel to up.

Now I know where it all ends – in memories.
All is gray and in wrinkles.
The invisible matter.
