L’ afuxida / The Escape by Xe M. Sänchez

Nagües por afuxir.
Puedes imaxinar
qu’atoparás lloñe
un nuevu llar,
un llugar
pa entamar otra vegada.
Pero nun escaezas
qu’ensin el to pasáu
namái yes un mapa
ensin nomes,
namái un poema
ensin pallabres.

You wish to escape.
You can imagine
that you will find far
a new home,
a place to start again.
But don’t forget
that without your past,
you are just a map
without names,
just a poem
without words.
