Telaraña

(A Coruña, Spain)

Sin sentir sus pieles vibrar en armonia, o juntarse sus labios en un beso robado, sentían que se deseaban, esperando el momento de juntar sus cuerpos, de unir sus almas. Pero como no era el lugar, ni el tiempo de amarse libremente, el sabio destino dejó a cada uno luchar con su interior hasta el cansancio, buscando excusas, creando barreras, inventando miedos. Pasó el tiempo y llegaron a creer que nada recordaban, caminando sus vidas adormecidas, bajo el mismo sol y la misma lluvia. Cometiendo el pecado de subestimar un destino, que esperó paciente una noche de luna, para atraparlos en una telaraña de hilos de pasión y gotas de rocío.

Shake with Impatience

The red balls are starting to shake with impatience, the light's bulbs turns on and off in their boxes testing themselves in secret, the Christmas tree's leaves are starting to strech, and I could sware that I heard those pesebre figurines yawning.

Las Cartas Zener

(De mi amiga Jaqueline Vazquez Della Valle, una lectura desde España... )

Un día navegando en Internet me topé con las cartas Zener, en cuanto vi las figuras reconocí enseguida de que se trataba. Mi curiosidad fue tan fuerte como para leerme la página completa y seguir buscando más y más.
A la mañana siguiente, cuando pensé que  mi curiosidad ya estaba satisfecha,  mis dedos no dejaban tranquilo el teclado, haciendo que navegara por todos los links posibles, no terminaba de leer una explicación que ya saltaba a otra página. De repente ya era una graduada en algo que ni siquiera tenía un concepto claro, mucho menos una posición tomada.
Cada fin de semana en la esquina de mi casa los vecinos armaban una feria. Cada uno ponía un stand y ofrecía servicios. Pasteles, limonadas, arreglos de costura y hasta improvisadas ventas de garaje. Yo nunca había participado, nunca se me ocurría nada que pudiera ofrecer y mis pasteles solían venir en cajas directo del supermercado.
Les aseguro que lo pensé más de dos veces, siempre esa falta de confianza en una misma, siempre ese “no vas a lograrlo” que retumba en el cerebro, como si así acentuara su poder.
 Y sí, el sábado ahí estaba yo, frente a una mesa, cubierta con un mantel bordado y bien antiguo, como para darle un toque de misterio a mi improvisado stand; una silla, una pantalla que no dejaba ver las cartas, un cuaderno, un lápiz y toda la ansiedad que podía contener mi pecho,  por ver cómo funcionaba eso de adivinar formas ocultas, esa clarividencia disimulada en cinco figuras, donde la estadística persiste en un duelo eterno con lo sobrenatural.

En 3 x 4...

Y la temprana penumbra de las 4 y media me asalta con esta nostalgia en 3 x 4. Me pienso en poemas que tienen sentido a esta hora y en esta década. Antiguos fantasmas me susurran el día el que me quieras, sabiendo que uno busca lleno de esperanzas, pero primero hay que saber sufrir después amar y después partir. Hermano, yo no quiero rebajarme, ni pedirle, ni llorarle, porque tan grande ha sido nuestro amor y mira en lo que quedo. Y el mundo fue y sera una porquería, pero mi Buenos Aires querido, cuando yo te vuelva a ver, veré la luna rodando por Callao y una luz de almacén, y con la ñata contra el vidrio veras que eres mi consuelo.

Working at night



Working at night, looking for those accomplices shadows, the sleepy silence of my kids, the lovers off line, looking for that intimated moment lost in my puzzles by the support of an argentine beverage called "mate" that will pull up my soul with green caffeine...©

A Good Spell for U


For my friends that deserve find love, this is a good spell for you.

Simply gather five roses, travel some distance from your home. The further you go, the wider your net will be cast. Drop the first rose to the ground saying,

“This is the path of love.

Continue to do this with each of the four remaining roses with the last dropped on your doorstep.

last and most important ingredient: faith

Details

It is not just him … is him, but not just him… is the way he looks at her.
Are not simply his caresses, are his caresses, but the way that curls his fingers with this shy reverence for the sacred … and being on the verge of touching her, he does not.
It is not simply her presence; it is her presence, but the strain of his presence …
And in these details happen that I discover his secret … because in the details is where the secrets are read.

The crack in the skin

That morning when he woke up and discovered the crack in his skin’s toes, he knew it. So many times went through the same that he already knew exactly what to do. That morning he quitted his job. He went to the bank and closed his accounts. He paid the two month rent of his apartment to the landlord saying that he was leaving next day and his sister was going to pick up his stuff left behind. Last call was for his girlfriend. Every time he had to make that call was harder, still did not get used of it, but there was not other option. He met with her in the little cafe at the corner of the street where they had spent so many evenings together and broke up with her.
Later, alone in his apartment, he started to get ready. He didn’t eat but drank as much water as he could. He looked for that plastic that he kept hidden on the top of the closet, waiting for this moment. He extended it over the floor of the living room where all the furnitures were moved gaining an empty space in the middle. At the end of the day, the mirror of his bathroom reflected a bald man that had shaved his head completely.
The evening painted shadows all over the place, over the crack in his skin’s toes, all over his naked body sitting down on the centre of the plastic, waiting. The first spasm began. With caution, he began to pull up skin from his toes. A new skin, so new that was almost transparent, showed below. He didn’t feel any pain when he pulled the dead skin along the legs unfolding new perfect young legs, but then was different. Waves of painful spasms increased, provoking bow him in grief, and his back‘s skin opened in a longitudinal crack line like unzipping an old dress. A new beautiful body was looking for its freedom. Then, he managed to pull out the arms, the neck, the head and finally and very careful the face, leaving a backward empty skin perfectly shaped with his old face looking at the new one.  Twins. Face to face. One old, one new. One empty, one complete. One dead, one newborn. One male, one female.

Confesiones


Que es este pedazo de terracota en forma de instrumento de tortura? Que son estas ropas? Que es este palacio decorado en oro? Estos rituales en un idioma opresor? Que pasa si te despojaras de todo esto, de la iglesia, de esa cruz  y esa figura torturada, de tus ropas, de este edificio palacesco y estuviéramos solos vos y yo? Solos... vos, y yo, y lo que nos hace heroicos y cobardes, lo que nos hace hacer cosas maravillosas y tantas estupideces, que nos condena y nos salva, y que no tiene nombre, porque fue antes que la palabra. Te darias cuenta que no necesitarias nada porque es ahi donde se forja tu ser, tu dios, tu fe y nuestro amor.©

The city is melting.

The city is melting.
The winter is melting.
Toronto stretches itself with new tulip's nails, shaking off its snow.
A world frozen from the past is being uncovered drop by drop.
My neighbour's Christmas trees,
cups of coffee,
some toys,
a bunch of roses abandoned by some rejected St. Valentine’s lover,
doggy boots,
sometimes a dead body –oh, yeah! This city has its dark side too-,
scarfs, hats and
hundreds… no, thousands of unpairs gloves and mittens.
And in a hidden corner of a driveway… a wedding ring,
cold and shiny under the first beam of the dawn,
showing our names.
