Nicanor Parra: There is a happy day / Hay un día feliz

I went wandering this afternoon
The lonely streets of my village
Accompanied by the good twilight
Which is the only friend I have left.

Juan Garrido Salgado: Poem of Night and the Wind | Poema de la Noche y el Viento

The word is wind, silence is wind, night is wind.
Clouds that imprison the moon.
Light that is no longer light but darkness of clouds and sky.
In the distance the sleeping mountains wake with the leaves of the wind.
