El canto de los pájaros traduce un imaginario poético compartido entre la naturaleza, la condición humana y el cosmos. La luminosidad de los astros llueve debajo de los corales y se eleva en el canto de las ballenas a tocar las alas de lo divino.
El canto de los pájaros es inmortal, como la verdad, capaz de transformarse en ángeles y constelaciones para llenar los agujeros negros del firmamento con rosas, sonidos y los colores de los impresionistas.
El canto de los pájaros es una confesión luminosa de la naturaleza cruel, de la oscuridad y del caos. La voz poética nace en una montaña mágica nicaragüense. Al lamentar las crueldades de la desmemoria, la miseria y la traición de los sueños, es capaz de tornar lo horrendo en belleza en la vida de un gorrión sin zapatos, en una rosa que nace en la roca.
El canto de los pájaros habita el árbol de la vida infinito y en el color de las aves renace el paraÃso, su lujuria, la belleza.

Birdsong translates a poetic imaginary shared between nature, the human condition, and the cosmos. The luminosity of stars rains under coral reefs to rise in whale song and touch the wings of the divine.
Birdsong is immortal, like truth, capable of transforming into angels and constellations to fill black holes in the firmament with roses, sounds, and the colors of impressionist artists.
Birdsong reveals the eternal life of dreams, harp music, and the Milky Way. It confronts the word war with poetry, sweetly proud and stubborn, capable of recognizing truth in pain and suffering as endless as the punishment of Sisyphus and Prometheus, as the eternal light of the sun.
Birdsong is a luminous confession of cruel nature, darkness, and chaos. The poetic voice is born from a magical Nicaraguan mountain. In lamenting the cruelty of forgetting, suffering, and the betrayal of dreams, it has the power to turn horror into beauty in the life of a barefoot sparrow, in a rose that grows from rock.
Birdsong inhabits the infinite tree of life, and paradise is reborn in the lavish color of birds, in beauty.
