The Bread and the Dream

image

DAY AFTER DAY LIKE a forgotten sourdough

The longing keeps growing

creates a bread

and rejects a dream

that here in a new place

in another country

the dream will be bigger

and it will be able to conceal

the humidity of my hometown

The dream broke the bread dried

wars were followed by wars

and only the memory remained

like an elephant returning

to his ancestor's graves

screaming a bit near them

and following his own road

falling not falling

still, a different elephant.
