Carito

Sentado solo
en un banco en la ciudad
con tu mirada
recordando el Litoral
tu suerte quiso estar partida
mitad verdad, mitad mentira
como esperanza de los pobres
prometida.....
Andando solo
bajo la llovizna gris
sintiendo duro
que tu suerte fue de aquí
¿por qué cambiaste un mar de gente
por donde gobierna la flor?
mira aquel río
nunca regaló el color...
Carito
suelta tu pena
se haga diamante tu lágrima
entre mis cuerdas
Carito
suelta tu piedra
para volar como el zorzal
en primavera...
En buenos aires
los zapatos son modernos
pero no lucen
como en la plaza de un pueblo
deja que tu loz chiquitita
le hable en secreto
a la cancion
para que te ilumine un poco más el sol
Cualquier semilla
cuando es planta quiere ver
la misma estrella
de aquel atardecer
que la salvó del pico agudo
refugiándola a lo oscuro
de la gaviota
arrazadora de los surcos
Carito
yo soy tu amigo
te ofrezco árbol
para tu nido
Carito
suelta tu canto
que el abanico
en mi acordeón
lo está esperando
