BSentado en el quicio de pEmuerta,
el pitillo apagado entre los lBabios,
con la bina calada y en la mano,
una vara nerviosa de avelEmlano.
Que recBuerda su frente limpia y Emclara,
quizá la primavera desojBada,
el olor de la pólvora mojada,
o el sabor del carbón mientras piEmcaba.
El abuelo fue picadoBr, allá en la Emmina;
y arrancando negro carbBón quemó su Emvida
BSe ha sentado el abuelo en la escEmalera,
a esperar el tibio sol de madrugBada,
la mirada clavada en la montaña,
es su amiga más fiel nunca le enEmgaña.
BTemblorosa la mano va al boEmlsillo,
rebuscando el tabaco y su libBrito
y al final como siempre murmurando
que María le esconde su taEmbaco.
El abuelo fue picador, allá en la mina;
y arrancando negro carbón quemó su vida
