La mazamorra, sabes
Es el pan de los pobres
Y leche de las madres
Con los senos vacios
Yo le beso las manos
Al inca viracocha
Porque invento el maiz
Y enseño su cultivo
En una artesa viene
Para unir la familia
Saludada por viejos,
Festejada por niños
Alla donde las cabras
Remontan en silencio
Y el hambre es una nube
Con las alas de trigo
Todo es hermoso en ella,
La mazorca madura
Que desgrana en noches
De vientos campesinos
El mortero y la maza
Con trenzas sobre el hombro
Que entre los granos mezcla
Rubores y suspiros
Si la quieres perfecta
Busca un cuenco de barro
Y espesala con leves
Ademanes prolijos
Del mecedor cortados
De ramas de la higuera
Que la siesta da sombras,
Benteveos e higos.
Y si quieres, agregale
Una pizca de cenizas de jume
Esa planta que resume
Los desiertos salinos
Y deja que la llama
Le transmita su fuerza
Hasta que adquiera un tinte
Levemente ambarino.
Cuando la comes sientes
Que el pueblo te acompaña
A lo largo de valles,
Por recodos de rios
Cuando la comes, sientes
Que la tierra es tu madre
Mas que la anciana triste
Que espera en el camino
Tu regreso del campo
Es madre de tu madre
Y su rostro es una piedra
Trabajada por siglos.
Hay ciudades que ignoran
Su gusto americano
Y muchos que olvidaron
Su sabor argentino
Pero ella ser siempre
Lo que fue para el inca
Nodriza de los pobres
En el paramo andino
La noche que fusilen
Poetas y cantores
Por haber traicionado
Por haber corrompido
La musica y el polen,
Los pajaros y el fuego
Quizas a mi me salven
Estos versos que digo.
