GUILLEN'S TOMORROW

The clock appeals
to Guillen's tomorrow
his words a language
leaving us an alembic life
in mass absences of silence
when reaction rose
for a speechless time
in the Thirties,
even the rain has erased
a dialogue with himself
inscribed and absorbed
an era's revolutionary poet
he has not forgotten
to arrange the lodging
for a visiting stranger,
Guillen's shadow
will be alongside those lovers
of the Spanish tongue
whom the sea and earth
has enlightened in their exile
not far from your shore
for a welcoming solidarity
on your child's library wall.
