The streets read poems too.

What good can I do

for a world

fond on making new roads

when all i´m good at

is finding cracks

on the asphalt

for people

who don´t want to see them

for road signs which tell us

to overlook them

for elementary school teachers

which forbid the children

to rest their ears against their edges

and listen to their story

for policemen who order us

not to pay attention to them

for they are the chalk outlines

of unsolved murders

that everyone is willing to forget


All I want to do

is lay besides their

cracked

but still shaking bodies

whispering trembling words

about not forgetting

promise them i´ll visit

every once in a while

to talk about their glory days

while the ants march besides us

their quiet steps

too humble

too shake the ground enough

for anyone to notice them

but I do

and maybe that´s why they keep walking

or maybe they just don´t care
