>> ¿Puedes venderme el aire que pasa entre tus dedos
>> y te golpea la cara y te despeina?
>> ¿Tal vez podrías venderme cinco pesos de viento,
>> o más, quizás venderme una tormenta?
>> ¿Acaso el aire fino
>> me venderías, el aire
>> (no todo) que recorre
>> en tu jardín corolas y corolas,
>> en tu jardín para los pájaros,
>> diez pesos de aire fino?
>>
>> El aire gira y pasa
>> en una mariposa.
>> Nadie lo tiene, nadie.
>>
>> ¿Puedes venderme cielo,
>> el cielo azul a veces,
>> o gris también a veces,
>> una parcela de tu cielo,
>> el que compraste, piensas tú, con los árboles
>> de tu huerto, como quien compra el techo con la casa?
>> ¿Puedes venderme un dólar
>> de cielo, dos kilómetros
>> de cielo, un trozo, el que tú puedas,
>> de tu cielo?
>>
>> El cielo está en las nubes.
>> Altas las nubes pasan.
>> Nadie las tiene, nadie.
>>
>> ¿Puedes venderme lluvia, el agua
>> que te ha dado tus lágrimas y te moja la lengua?
>> ¿Puedes venderme un dólar de agua
>> de manantial, una nube preñada,
>> crespa y suave como una cordera,
>> o bien agua llovida en la montaña,
>> o el agua de los charcos
>> abandonados a los perros,
>> o una legua de mar, tal vez un lago,
>> cien dólares de lago?
>>
>> El agua cae, rueda.
>> El agua rueda, pasa.
>> Nadie la tiene, nadie.
>>
>> ¿Puedes venderme tierra, la profunda
>> noche de las raíces; dientes
>> de dinosaurios y la cal
>> dispersa de lejanos esqueletos?
>> ¿Puedes venderme selvas ya sepultadas, aves muertas,
>> peces de piedra, azufre
>> de los volcanes, mil millones de años
>> en espiral subiendo? ¿Puedes
>> venderme tierra, puedes
>> venderme tierra, puedes?
>>
>>
>> La tierra tuya es mía.
>> Todos los pies la pisan.
>> Nadie la tiene, nadie.
