Can we speak?

Can we speak?

Can we speak?

Can we speak?

How can we, exist?

And how, do you care?

Look at us.

Us trying to turn around that doomed soil.

Trying to aerate it. To feed it.

You’ll see from that, that doomed soil.

In some damned way, we blossom.

Like if blossoming was not an act of beauty.

But rather the only possibility of becoming.

You’ll see

We blossom

But not alone

We blossom

With the other others

We blossom

Pero con tachas y metal

With saliva on the corners of the mouth

Bark back

Bark back

Blossom with the teeth out

Bark back

Bark back

We hear each other

Bark back

Bark back

We’re here with each other.
