Poem

While he takes from his poem an arrow

to throw it in the direction of the heart

Or in the direction of the clear sky

He wanted to learn:

learns how to take care of storms

cracks in memory, and cold nights due to crying

learns when to ask and when to trade speech for silence

learns where to place his first leaves

trunks of his untamed branches…

and what comes from love.
