I would like...

I wish, if I could, to frame the tears from my cheek;

I'm still thinking what color it should be,

I wonder,

the frame?!

What an art exhibition that would be!

And I wish to buy, if it were possible, the pink of the sky before sunset;

I would take out such a large loan that even God would say:

“She's too indebted, I'll keep her next to Me!”.

And I would also wish, if I could, to gift to people

rays of skin

arched in the corner of the mouth,

radiating in the corner of the eyes;

any plastic surgeon would envy me!

(or would be scandalized!)

I wish

to always remember

that the greatest riches are, in fact,

free...

and how poor we are

when we forget to value our wealth.
