Silvio Rodriguez da de agua

The window has grown teeth,
teeth of rainwater in white mesh.
Further there it is getting wet on Monday
to relieve the year of its old thirst .
The children play at going out barefoot,
to cross the rivers, to sing,
to challenge sharp debris,
everything that rolls into the sea.
/>According to the weather report
fifty percent
of thirst remained.
But then, what could it be that rained?
I see safe little boats
breaching the walls
of our city.
I see many children building more.
