The video Oscar Hans read his poems: In the tomb of the unknown soldier and Waiting for your email
In the tomb of the unknown soldier
Which joy men go to war
With what enthusiasm clean and load their rifles
With what fervor sing their songs of battle
With what anxiety take their place in the trench
With what concerns they hear the noise of the pumps
Which insistence bullets whistled through the air
How slowly the blood running down his forehead With
wonder why his eyes look empty
Which stiffness their bodies lie in the mud
Which are hastily thrown into the pit
How quickly are forgotten forever
Waiting for your email
Open my mail
on the computer hoping to find
yours and not find
open every day
every hour every minute
and not find
and
afraid to look at my email
and eyes pass for each message
looking for fun and not find
and be ready to break
screen
a punch and not find
but open it again
and suddenly see your name
and read the text
just holding your breath and get
trembling to the last line
the last word and not wanting
breathe anymore in
life and wanting to drop dead
above the keyboard
