Sweet, dear, loving time


I would love to be able to start this little post by declaring my undying love and affection to this trustworthy friend and dreadful enemy. However, I keep wondering if it is time that changes me or if I am to discover it doesn't actually do much to the metamorphosis taking hold of me as of late.


Oh yes, my tender flesh and young blood are changing their chemical compound at a speed I have never witnessed before. It is as if I could hear under my skin the molecules clashing and reforming and be forced to watch the very fibre that covers me expand and stretch and refold in a hurtful origami dance that seems to be going nowhere…


It may not be the first time that these changes occur. With time and age and mistakes I guess they must unfold upon anyone. Nevertheless, I have never felt them as strong and as completely out of control as these past few months.


What is there to be understood of this? Passing pages will eventually come back? Will the old be entirely replaced or be modified and kept? Will the dust gathered upon so many corners be swept away or just lay down again on other shapes?


Is the finding to be proved true... that people are merely walking equations, understood by few but mysterious to others, that love and friendship are but variables and that the melting of bodies just a coma between units and subunits… Is selfishness and doubting others to be the newly crowned queen of the reign over my future?


I don't even know where these words are taking me. It's still so blurry and dark…



"Camina la punta de mis dedos sobre tus hombros,

Sobre la piel dura, como la que cubre los libros,

Se me rompen las unas al tratar de abrirte,

Y se me queman los ojos al tratar de leerte…"



[to M., to Y., to S., to DD.]

Fragmentación


Cuando abres la boca

Yo me cierro los ojos

Y le pido al cielo en silencio


Que me quema

Y que me inunde,

Que me absorbe

Y que me escupa

que al final me deja de ser


Cuando miras de un lado

Yo me cierro los ojos

Y las pido a tus manos en silencio


Que me apagan

Y que me encienden

Que me pintan

Y que me escriben

Que al cabo me disuelven


Cuando no me necesitas

Cuando no gritas por dentro

Que me comes, que me bebes, que me fumas y me pinchas


Yo me cierro los ojos

Y le pido a mi alma

Que me quema la mirada

Que me apaga cada sueno

Que me rota las costillas

Que se suelta

Y que corre

Que no mira par atrás

Ver que el vacío dentro llore…

Where are you hiding my child?
Why aren't you hiding where you are supposed to?

. . .

I'll rip off my skin to cover your shoulders
And leave me as naked as before I was born
And make the world that surounds you
Leave your four walls alone...

I'll give you my hands to sew to your elbows
To cover the cracks and rebuild the windows
And be a statue of warmth and of silence
Left for your pleasure of constance...

. . .

And I'll hear all of the noise
And I'll drink all of the words
That may someday kill your joys
Or be knocking on your door...

No thighs will give you such a welcome
No legs will hide you just as well
No other arms will ever hold you
With the power of an eggshell...

And I'll be like a little shadow
You may sometimes touch or kiss
And then dissapear forever
And be back if I am missed...

Come sway with me my long lost lover,
Hope and dreams are gone for thee
Drown your anger to the other
In my sheets and sheets to be.

Bend my skin as you may please
Bend my mind and breaths and knees
Tare apart the walls and laces
Leave me sinking in embraces.

Take my thoughts and thoughts to be
Break them from reality
Make me lie and cheat and hate
Be your slave from dusk to wake...


Teach my heart how to care less
So that my mind won't die of loss...
