Candles

That boy, take me away, into the night
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest

I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene

Well I have brittle bones it seems
I bite my tongue and torch my dreams
Have a little voice to speak with
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy

Things cannot be reversed, we learn from the times we are cursed
Things cannot be reversed, learn from the ones we fear the worst
And learn from the ones we hate the most

Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
Just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence
Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed

Cause we both know I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets

Well I'll never be your lover
I only bring the heat
Company under cover
Filling space in your sheets, in your sheets

So, please just blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles
"You're too old to be so shy," he says to me so I stay the night
It's just a young heart confusing my mind, but we're both in silence

Wide-eyed, both in silence
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene.

By tomorrow we'll be swimming with the fishes
Leave out troubles on the side.
And when the sun comes out,
we'll be nothing but dust...

Landfill - Daughter


Throw me in a landfill
Don't think about the consequences
Throw me in the dirt pit
Don't think about the choices that you make
Throw me in the water
Don't think about the splash I will create
Leave me at the altar
Knowing all the things you just escaped

Push me out to sea
On a little boat that you made
Out of the evergreen that you helped your father cut away
Leave me on the tracks
To wait until the morning train arrives
Don't you dare look back
Walk away
Catch up with the sunrise

La planta de Felisberto

En un momento dado pienso que en un rincón de mí nacerá una planta. La empiezo a acechar creyendo que en ese rincón se ha producido algo raro, pero que podría tener porvenir artístico. Sería feliz si esta idea no fracasara del todo. Sin embargo, debo esperar un tiempo ignorado: no sé cómo hacer germinar la planta ni cómo favorecer, ni cuidar su crecimiento; sólo presiento o deseo que tenga hojas de poesías; o algo que se transforme en poesía si la miran ciertos ojos. Debo cuidar que no ocupe mucho espacio, que no pretenda ser bella o intensa, sino que sea la planta que ella misma esté destinada a ser, y ayudarla a que lo sea. Al mismo tiempo ella crecerá de acuerdo a un contemplador al que no hará mucho caso si él quiere sugerirle demasiadas intenciones o grandezas. Si es una planta dueña de sí misma tendrá una poesía natural, desconocida por ella misma. Ella debe ser como una persona que vivirá no sabe cuánto, con necesidades propias, con un orgullo discreto, un poco torpe y que parezca improvisado. Ella misma no conocerá sus leyes, aunque profundamente las tenga y la conciencia no las alcance. No sabrá el grado y la manera en que la conciencia intervendrá, pero en última instancia impondrá su voluntad. Y enseñará a la conciencia a ser desinteresada.

Felisberto Hernández (Uruguay, Montevideo, 1902- id., 1964)
