TRATAR DE SER Y NO

Romper la antigua coraza

y poder,en toda la expresiön de mi presencia

desgarrar las viejas vestiduras

y ver el propio yo desnudo,

el cascarõn de inutilidad abierto

tan amado por todos

y de ml tan odiado.

Amoldado

complaciente en su eco

salvaguardia, nulidad

evquivalente a nada,

y toda esta magnifica potencia

torciSndose al nacer

gritando

que el tiempo de placenta estS acabado.
