Tomó el pan y le untó mantequilla. Le dio volumen al radio y suspiró oyendo "ut of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum, you came along and everything started'in to hum, still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come"
Pensó en las veces que había bailado con Migdalia y cómo había disfrutado. La esperaba para seguir a su lado, aunque sabía el costo de ello.
Las abundantes lágrimas eran el poderoso adorno, de un momento que marcaba su existencia.
El celular vibró y lo sacó de su absorto. Leyó el mensaje: "debes venir tan rápido como puedas, porque queremos compartir contigo".
No respondió. Se detuvo y tarareo la canción "wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near, wait till you see that sunshine place, ain't nothin' like it here", asomándose a la ventana observó los lirios del jardín.
Instantes después sintió que le miraban. Volteó y allí estaba.
Se acercó para abrazarla, sintiendo un frío que lo lleno de paz, lentamente se fue durmiendo y nunca más quiso despertar.

The song of the moment
He took the bread and buttered it. He turned the radio volume up and sighed hearing "ut of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum, you came along and everything started'in to hum, still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come"
She thought of the times she had danced with Migdalia and how she had enjoyed it. She was waiting for him to stay by her side, even though she knew the cost of it.
The abundant tears were the powerful adornment, of a moment that marked her existence.
The cell phone vibrated and she pulled it out of her absorbed. She read the message: "You must come as fast as you can, because we want to share with you."
She did not answer. She stopped and hummed the song "wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near, wait till you see that sunshine place, ain't nothin 'like it here", leaning out of the window she observed the garden lilies.
Moments later she felt that they were looking at him. She turned around and there she was.
He came closer to hug her, feeling a cold that filled him with peace, he slowly fell asleep and never wanted to wake up again
