"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.
