Closed for demolition   
   .   
   Joaquin Sabina  
   .   
  This balm does not cure scars, 
  this rumbita not know love, 
  this rosary beads 
  silent unhappy over what he says 
  but tells the truth. This 
  Store sheets that will not burn, 
  this phone without voice mail, call 
  the morning, today I was late, thus 
  cowardly not to say no. This 
  you this without you so bitter, 
  the hourglass of sand, 
 kisses  this strike, this lethargy, these pants 
  for the old Peter Pan 
  This comfortable without panties Zara, 
  a tour of Soho from a red bus, 
  these eyes that do not measure or compare 
  not forget your face 
  not remember your cross. 
  not abuse my inspiration 
  not accuse my heart 
  so battered and worn 
  is closed for demolition. 
  For wrinkles of my voice is filtered 
  desolation of knowing that these are 
  the last verses that I write, 
  to say "Condi" to the two 
  us plenty of reasons. 
  This paya so far from his gypsy criminal 
 Puerto  this without vis a vis, 
  this civil war, this hand in hand, 
  these Moors and Christians, 
  the Berlin Wall. 
  This virus does not die or kill us, 
  this amnesia on the roof of your palate, 
  dust limousine Manhattan, 
  winter in Mar del Plata, 
  Captain verses. 
  This growing up without delicacy, 
  this wetback Muscat, 
 factory  this valley of sadness, this foam 
  certainly 
  this hive without honey. 
  This smear of blood and ink, 
  the bathroom without mascara or nembutal, 
  these bones back to the office within a 
  coat with patches of solitude. 
  not abuse my inspiration, not accuse 
  my heart so battered and worn 
  it is closed for demolition. 
  For wrinkles of my voice is filtered 
  desolation of knowing that these are 
  the last verses that I write, 
  to say "Condi" to the two 
  us plenty of reasons.
