Back



  Y ahí estaba ella, encorvada, arrastrando las rodillas, el cabello acariciando el piso, con todas sus pasiones recogidas y bien atadas.
  Sobre su espalda inundada de lunares se sentaba una pequeña joroba que de vez en cuando le soltaba una patada o dos, que se balanceaba colgada de sus hombros puntiagudos, que se arrastraba y rasguñaba en su camino hacia la cima subiendo, haciendo alpinismo aferrándose a todas y cada una de las vértebras sobresalientes de esa columna empinada que dibujaba curvas y contracurvas de norte a sur.
  No era grande, no era tan grande, no aún, mas le pesaba como si llevara encima en mundo entero, como si ella fuese la alfombra de todos esos elefantes que extrañaban sus colmillos de marfil, el cochecito de todos los niños perdidos que no sabían volar, la grúa de miles de cargamentos varados, y pesaba como todos los embarazos perdidos en ese universo, como las mochilas cargadas del primer día de clases, como un par de zapatos bien puestos a mitad de un río helado, pero ella todavía podía caminar.
  Arrastraba los piecitos ataviados en zapatitos que le quedaban chicos, los dedos largos y blanditos le colgaban junto al cuerpo sin ganas de bailotear, se escondía del sol y cuando nadie la miraba, se sostenía de las paredes, suspiraba, se cacheteaba el corazón que amenazaba con ralentizarse de a ratos, y continuaba caminando con el universo sobre ella.
  Daba un paso tras otro sin detenerse, porque si bien a veces caía de rodillas y creía iba a morir aplastada, rota al medio, todas las veces se había vuelto a poner de pie, había sacado lustre a sus mejillas usando las lágrimas que no pudo evitar soltar, había levantado sus pecas, había apuntado al sol con sus ojitos brillantes y había seguido dejando cosas atrás, abrazando el adelante, deseando con todas sus fuerzas por lo que hubiera más allá.

To tell

Talk to me. Tell me the things. I don't care what the things are, what do you want to tell me, just tell me. I want you to talk to me, to tell me about your most hated dreams, about your beloved nightmares. I won't mind if you're tired of me and want some time apart, I'll understand. Maybe I'll break a plate or two, swish a tear, and even won't smile much after that, but I'll be okay, and I'll be knowing what you wanted, so it'll be okay. If you want to come running back to me, just come, and please yell it aloud on your way to my open arms. If it happens that you love me and you want to tell me about it, do it, tell me. Look into my eyes, gently hold my face into your warm hands and whisper close to my little lips that you love me, 'cause if you don't, I will, because I love you and there's nothing I can do against it. And if you want to tell me that you don't love me anymore, for the sake of what you love the most, then, tel...

Blur

  So I was walking that night, talking to myself. The air was thick around me I could almost touch it, the street was slippery wet, and there was nothing behind nor ahead of me and my whispering voice.   And suddenly, in the blink of an eye, mine stopped seeing clearly. I could not see the cracks underneath my feet and the lights floating above my head turned into big fluffy shiny clouds with no end. In fact, every thing I'd laid my eyes on had no end, no edge. The things in front of me just merged one into another, and I wasn't even capable of tell colors apart, because of the darkness falling all over me, because of the dim of the streetlights.   But I just kept walking. And talking to myself. And even thinking out loud that maybe it wasn't me the one with the problem, that there was nothing wrong with my eyes.   Maybe, and just maybe, it was the world around me that turned blurred, that lost all its boundaries, its edges. Maybe it was the universe itself...

Wrong

  She sleeps like nothing's wrong in the world. As if nothing's wrong with her, as if nothing's wrong with me.   Her head on my chest, against  my beating heart, her arms around me, her fingers intertwined with mine; her eyes softly closed, her lips slightly open, a little blooming smile on her cheeks. The bed is all warm and there's darkness floating all around us.   She sleeps like nothing's wrong, but there are people walking homeless, hopeless, endlessly right there on the street outside our door. There is war surrounding us. There are children dying of thirst. There is me with her. And I don't love her anymore.
