Analysis of Tiempo, tiempo

Cesar Vallejo 1892 (Santiago de Chuco Province) – 1938 (Paris)



Mediodía estancado entre relentes.
Bomba aburrida del cuartel achica
tiempo tiempo tiempo tiempo.

Gallos cancionan escarbando en vano.
Boca del claro día que conjuga
era era era era.

El reposo caliente aun de ser.
Piensa el presente guárdame para
mañana mañana mañana mañana.

¿Qué se llama cuanto heriza nos?
Se llama Lomismo que padece
nombre nombre nombre nombre.
