The Distant Steps (Los Pasos Lejanos) by Cesar Vallejo
Production and Sound Design By Kevin Seaman "the distant steps" By Cesar Vallejo my father sleeps. his august frontispiece portrays a gentle heart; it is now so placid... if there's something bitter, should be me. . there is solitude in our home; we pray; there is no buzz today to share. my father awakes, as it resounds the Egypt's gap, the farewell with no meaning. . now it is so close; if there's something far on, should be me. then my mother walks beyond the gardens, enjoying this feel now already disenchanted. she is so delicate, fluid, brief and beloved. the solitude in our home has no riots, no news, no flora, without child roots. and if something is broken at afternoon which bends and breaks are those two leaned old folks. for them my heart still stands.
