I

In April with its showers

I stood on the banks of the river, Lethe

some people were talking

in the rooms they had caused to be made

but I don’t know who they are

asking is this my life also

and take from my mouth the word love

that falls like a water between stones

II

My child thinks her shoes get smaller

not knowing about growth

the mouths of some professors are shut

like a boot against water

not knowing growth either
