Poem of the Day for 02/14/26

Soledad
by Oscar Martínez


Yo no sé

por qué el aire que respiro

inflama mi mente

con visiones de hojas de otoño



Polvo de la montaña

vuelto roca en mis manos,

tengo a un gigante atrapado!

¿cómo es eso posible?



Duermo con el aroma de nardos,

despierto en extasis

escuchando un rio,

¿quién sueña en mi mente?



Lo extraordinario

acontece hoy,

dejamos de ser solitarios

y nos convertimos en oro



Yo no sé

cómo es eso posible!
