with threats and promises with poison and wormwood
masons built the king's house and then could not
idle because death came to give them another job
masons told the bony
not take us to do
still have to remove a thin walls must
lime stains
carpenters had to improve
finish door frames doors
painters had not finished painting
how are we going to take now?
told him but death
said it needed a palace as
and more beautiful than that and wanted to work for her and began to separate
the
by trade until he reached the best Hiranyaka
of masons famous author of walls and when it would happen
across
asked where is your heart?
must come
your own heart I have not answered Hiranyaka
has made his home in a woman
death oh my heart remains
find every house in this realm
on each wall that stood there remains in my heart
but my heart has made its home in a woman
Juan Gelman
