The earth opens

    and welcomes you

    Why these cries, these tears

    these prayers

    What have they lost

    What are they looking for

    those who trouble

    your refound peace?

    The earth opens

    and welcomes  you

    Now

    you will converse1 without witnesses

    O you have things to tell each other

    and you'll have eternity2 to do so

    Yesterday's words tarnished3 by the tumult4

    will one by one engrave5 themselves on silence

    The earth opens

    and welcomes you

    She alone has desired you

    without you making any advances

    She has waited for you with Penelopian ruses6.

    Her patience was but goodness

    and it is goodness brings you back to her

    The earth opens

    and welcomes you

    she won't ask you to account

    for your ephemeral loves

    daughters of errancy

    meat stars conceived in the eyes

    accorded fruits from the vast orchard of life

    sovereign passions that make sun

    in the palm's hollow

    at the tip of the tipsy tongue

    The earth opens

    and welcomes you

    You are naked

    She is even more naked than you

    And you are both beautiful

    in that silent embrace

    where the hands know how to hold back

    to avoid violence

    where the soul's butterfly

    turns away from this semblance of light

    to go in search of its source

    The earth opens

    and welcomes you

    Your loved one will find again some day

    your legendary smile

    and the mourning will be over

    Your children will grow up

    and will read your poems without shame

    your country will heal as if by miracle

    when the men exhausted by illusion

    will go drink from the fountain of your goodness

    O my friend

    sleep well

    you need it

    for you have worked hard

    as an honest man

    Before leaving

    you left your desk clean

    well ordered

    You turned off the lights

    said a nice word to the guardian

    And then as you stepped out

    you looked at the sky

    its near-painful blue

    You elegantly smoothed your mustache

    telling yourself:

    only cowards

    consider death to be an end

    Sleep well my friend

    Sleep the sleep of the just

    let us for awhile carry the burden
