Mockingbird
Narayán García Campos
You take the
Longest walk
To meet your freedom
With black wings
You cover my leisure
Mockingbird
Brave old friend
I guess you deserve it
As you go
Black sorrow
Rises through
The horizon
With many voices
You sing my fate
Some notes of blisful hours
You go unnoticed
Right to the end
Tales of smoke and mirrors
Mockingbird
Brave old friend
I guess you deserve it
As you go
Black sorrow
Rises through
The horizon
Flowers and gravestones
The winter's hollow
Cruel to men
And gentle to children
I feel you've been misunderstood
By light and shadows
Nightly terror
Breaking the illusion away
You look at me
Kind of baffled
You seem to understand
The consequences
Mockingbird
Brave old friend
I guess you deserve it
As you go
Black sorrow
Rises through
The horizon
