Company of Stars
I know it
I come from the night
yet my soul expands in light
to get to the company of stars of the last return
the child comes from the infinite
becomes time and returns
the brightness that showed him the way
shaking
desires and wrinkles in forgetfulness
a dream that slowly also
forgets the notes
of the voyage that didn’t exist
when from the corners of the road
suddenly turning realizes
it is alone and fleetingly
grasps that destiny left him
the footprints of no one
