Se llamaba José: Poetry by Zelene Pineda Suchilt

March 16, 2017

BY ZELENE PINEDA SUCHILT
CURATED BY CECILIA LLOMPART

Se llamaba José

Se llamaba José,
nombre tan común
Mi padre se llama
igual

Se llamaba José
Hombre tan común
Como el padre de Jesús
igual

Digo su nombre en alto
escribo su nombre,
esperanza permanente,
porque fue un héroe.

Se llamaba José,
nombre tan común
Mi padre se llama
igual

Se llamaba José
Hombre tan común
Como el padre de Jesús
igual

Mientras escribo su nombre
cristiano en lengua española,

lo quiero Quetzalcóatl
lo quiero Oró pulido
lo quiero inmortal

por ser tan común
por ser padre
que vivió por los vivos

sus hijos
su amor
tan eterno

lo quiero Turquesa
lo quiero Jade
lo quiero en las calles

que lo vea José en la cantina
que lo vea José en la taquería

que lo vea el muralista
que conmemora a los muertos de lejos
y no va al entierro del común
porque lo común lo enterró.

que lo vea Jesús el mesero
que lo vea Jesús en la escuela

que lo vea María
que lo vea María magdalena

las que cuidan l@s hij@s

que lo vea la que pinta en casa
la que conmemora las vivas

las que recogen tras los vivos
las que se pintan de rojo
porque la sangre importa.

Más viva que muerta,
me llamo Zelene y recuerdo a José.

Fui a su sepulto,
vi la bandera de sangre serpiente y pasto,
tomé su mano fría y abrase su sangre caliente
corriente sin paro
rio de su amor, su amor viva.

Cuando salgo, salgo corriendo
nombra, nombres de hombres
que murieron en contra de la muerte
y vivieron por amor.

Se llamaba José,
un hombre no común,
un hombre en paz.
