From Yesterday


From Yesterday

It was at the top
of the hill
where we achieved
to stop time
We hung destiny
on the tail of kites
to be able to return
any other day

Dreams traveled
on airplanes
they crossed the sky
between clouds of paper
folded with fantasy
and then they fell
in some distant sea
impossible to imagine

We knew nothing about Newton
Pythagoras or Archimedes
but we managed to tear off
the best secrets of gravity
to the laws and the effects
that physics protected
in the guts
of spinning tops and marbles

At that time
it didn’t make sense
to try to predict the future
neither banish uncertainty
because just like today
It doesn’t have it either.
