Si te postran diez veces, te levantas
otras diez, otras cien, otras quinientas:
no han de ser tus caídas tan violentas
ni tampoco, por ley, han de ser tantas.
Con el hambre genial con que las plantas
asimilan el humus avarientas,
deglutiendo el rencor de las afrentas
se formaron los santos y las santas.
Obcecación asnal, para ser fuerte,
nada más necesita la criatura
y en cualquier infeliz se me figura
que se mellan los garfios de la suerte…
¡Todos los incurables tienen cura
cinco minutos antes de su muerte
