Like a stranded Conquistador...

And here I am.


In this miserable void,

Sunk in the quick sands

Of this hour.


The pulse of this city

Feeding my soul no more.


Charmed by the dialogue of her past,

Burdened by the fastidious monologue of her present.


And here I am.


Like a stranded Conquistador

Waiting for new conquests.
