Pies Descalzos
Meaning

You belonged to an ancient race
of bare feet
and white dreams.

You were dust, dust you are
Think, because iron
that remains under the heat is weak.

And now you're here
wanting to be happy
when you didn't give a crap
about your destiny.

You bit the apple
and gave up paradise
and sent a snake to its demise
even though you were the one who wanted it so.

Millenniums after millenniums
you remained naked
and battled dinosaurs
under a roof but no shield.

You built an exact world
of such perfect finishes
Every little thing calculated
in its own little space and time.

And I'm such a complete mess

The entrances and exits
The names and measurements
Can't fit into my brain.
