We’ll talk about our youth

We’ll talk about our youth,
we’ll talk later, dead or alive
with so much time on top of us,
with ghostly years that were not ours
and days that came from the sea and returned
to its profound permanence.

We’ll talk about our youth
almost forgetting it,
mixing up the nights and their names,
what was taken from us, the presence
of a turbid battle with dreams.
