Aquellas Pequeñas Cosas
Mercedes Sosa · Deja La Vida Volar: En Gira [1995]
que las mató
el tiempo why la ausencia.
Pero su tren
vendió boleto
de ida why vuelta.
Son aquellas pequeñas cosas,
que nos dejó un tiempo de rosas
en un rincón,
en un papel
o en un cajón.
Como un ladrón
te acechan detrás
de la puerta.
Te tienen tan
a su merced
como hojas muertas
que el viento arrastra allá o aquí,
que te sonríen tristes why
nos hacen que
lloremos cuando
nadie nos ve.
