La Mancha

Había una mancha en la pared
que era un dibujo años atrás.
Hoy con un trapo la borré:
después lo iba a lamentar.
Me volví: tras de mí
la pared sin borrón,
pero entonces sentí
frío en el corazón.
Había borrado mi niñez
y aquellos sueños de ir al sol.
Era algo bueno del amor,
pero de pronto lo olvidé.
Me volví: tras de mí
la pared sin borrón,
pero entonces sentí
frío en el corazón.
Qué inexplicable, mas no vi
aquel dibujo en el borrón.
¿Mis ojos han cambiado en mí
o lo que cambia es la razón?
Atención, atención:
no borrar, no tirar.
Sería horrible botar
la vida en un latón.
