***
ANOTHER COUNTRY
There is still another country,
out of touch, out of sight,
above the song, above blood,
behind the world, out at sea,
in the womb of another sky,
where there is only one secret.
There is still another country
where they told the children
a secret,
the same waters from the palms,
one milk from the two breasts,
in order not to go thirsty through
the fields, and not to suffer
from great starvation.
