Especie

Gustavo Cerati · Siempre Es Hoy [2002]

Sin querer

la ví llegar,

su vibrante luz

encarnada en ilusión.



Es la especie que nos une

un salto mortal

para que la vida continue

en muchas sumas de placer.



Y que dure lo que dure lo real.

Y que dure lo que dure la ficción.



Es que acaso te sorprende

que sea así por siempre?



Hoy la tarde esta increíble

y quiero embellecerte más... aún
