9 - Quack! --- Cuack!
Quack!
Silence doesn't exist in this house.
My own breath
sounds like a crowd yelling to the sky
and the hands in the clock
follow their own tail restless
carrying with them
an army of noisy and tired soldiers.
This pencil leaves on the paper
the whisper a distant ecco
like high heels in an empty alley.
The air, full of colorful voices,
the light, flickering its Morse Code,
my walking, my blood,
the continous beating of my heart...
All of them plotting against the silence,
with their endless off-key symphony.
Cuack!
No hay silencio en esta casa.
Mi propia respiración
emite un gemido al cielo
y el segundero del reloj
persigue su propia cola sin pausa,
acarriando consigo
a un ejército de soldaditos cansados y sonoros.
Este lápiz deja sobre el papel
un rumor de eco, distante,
como el de tacones en un corredor vacío.
El aire, cargado de voces de colores,
la luz, parpadeando su Clave Morse,
mis propios pasos, mi sangre,
el latir constante de mi corazón...
Todos conspirando contra el silencio,
con su interminable y desafinada sinfonía.
