What is a Camino
EPOCH
"Here it does not rest, a past
I summoned with a bell
so that things awaken
and the rings gather around me,
which have separated from fingers
obeying death:

I did not want to reconstruct
the hands or the sadnesses:

after everything,
once and for all
shall die this century of agony
that taught us to assassinate
and to die of survival."

I came across this translated version, but I can't find the original. If you can send me the original text and title I would be really grateful. I am planning to read it/sing it in Spanish.
