Herald

Those who are bored to death
Those who play at suffering
Those who pollute time
Those who torture the wind
Those who are no more
Those who could have been
A dark crowd
A clear night

And I kill myself loving
This land of lands
This ghostly indifference
To rain and blood
I die to understand
These wild ideas
That fill its mouth
With blackened foam
Of acceptable losses

And I wait for its imperial voice
To hurl me onto the bullet
That already waits for me
At the foot of a statue
With bronze skin
And dung-hair
I, hero
I, idiot
I, the unknown
