Lettera da un cosmodromo messicano [English translation]

Little by little, the forest

is reclaiming the houses.

Airplanes sit still

at airports under the moon.

Dogs are dumbfounded.

On mountain ridges,

flocks are scattered,

shepherds are lost.

I live outdoors at this Mexican cosmodrome

everything is loud and clear.

The sky is a giant,

life is an aquarium,

above us

light is immense.
