Kafka will stop dreaming us.

Ein Traum, Jorge Luis Borges
Lo
sabían
los tres.Ella era la compañera de Kafka.
Kafka la había soñado
Lo sabían los tres.
Él era el amigo de Kafka
Kafka la había soñado
Lo sabían los tres.
La mujer le dijo al amigo:
Quiero que esta noche me quieras.
Lo sabían los tres.
El hombre le contestó: Si pecamos,
Kafka dejara de soñarnos.
Uno lo supo.
No había nadie más en la tierra.
Kafka se diho:
Ahora que se fueron los dos, he quedado solo.
Dejaré de soñarme.
