"Tactics and Strategy" by Mario Benedetti


for Zaira

My tactic is to look

learn how you love how you


my tactic is to talk and listen


build with words an indestructible bridge My tactic is
remain in your remember
do not know how nor with what pretext

but remain in you
my tactic is to be frank

and know that you're free and that there
sell fakes

that between us there is no curtain or depths

my strategy is instead


deeper and easier
my strategy is that one day
any
do not know how nor with what pretext

finally you need me.
