Y este hecho fue un adiós
a las formas de un paisaje
que también eran yo
Cada golpe del cincel
nos descubre nuevos trazos
de lo que hay bajo la piel
El campo estallando en flor
Riega el bosque la cascada
Una hoguera deslumbrante
con el viento respirando
Se rompió el cascarón
El torrente fue tan fuerte
El torrente fue tan fuerte
que su paso transformó
las Montañas Sagradas en pedazos
