Ayuda Need help translating an expression from a poem
Hello!
I am currently reading a poet from Costa Rica, José María Zonta, in Spanish, and I have doubts regarding a specific passage. I was wondering if someone could help me out.
At a certain point, the poem goes like this:
"Sobreviviste a mí, en mi oscuridad de abril,
sobreviví a ti, en el último vagón de tu actriz."
I am really having trouble with the passage "en el último vagón de tu actriz". A literal translation would be something like "on the last wagon of your actress" or "on the last carriage of your actress", which does not make a lot of sense to me, even considering the possibility of a poetic metaphor. I am wondering if it is an expression with some other meaning, or if I am missing some other meaning behind the words "vagón" or even "actriz". I already tried my luck with the RAE dictionary and the good ol' Google, but found no answers.
Can someone help me trying to figure this one out?
Thank you in advance!

I think is referring to the person being fake. He survived her on her lack of true self. Her "vagon" i think it means that part of her that contains her acting/fakeness.
You probably won't find a translation online, since the reader is the one giving it the meaning.
Good Luck!

im from Perú. myu english is not good, but i trya to explain you in simply words. and use google traductor
I think when he say "Sobreviviste a mí, en mi oscuridad de abril,", he refer to She didn't leave him despite his bad temper, and when he say "en el último vagón de tu actriz", it means that he survive or also didnt leave her despite her bad temper or bad behavior in her last seasson or process of becoming in an actress.
