For the Moment the end Comes

(Spanish Original: "Para cuando Sobrevenga el Final")

Author: Gito Minore
Translator: Santiago Basso

And if only silence remains,
the sleeplessness of a faucet
that doesn't get tired of dropping.
And if only a story remains,
a story without story,
the null night
of 40 cigarettes
crashin themselves with no sense.
And if it's just about
picturing always the same landscape always,
always thge same window,
always the same misery.
And if this heart felt asleep
with local anaesthesia
and it feels shallow
beating at half engine,
crying at fake tear.
And if the only remaining joy
is this lexotanil peace,
that tedious song,
this monotonous melody,
this double-beded loneliness.
When the improvised end overcomes,
there won't remain anything
but a 'resign yourself, brother'
to pay the entrance to eternity,
or the nothing that waits for us as well.
Only tired muscles will remain,
only tired lips, only tired hands,
only tired fingers,
only to justify
this absense of existance
which we never get tired
of conceive overunderstoodly present;
vulgarly, and ironically.
Special and eternal.
