El cadáver exquisito

La sonrisa se le deformó, no escuchaba sus ruegos mudos, no la veía descostillarse, y yo me reí, me reí tanto.
Hoy soy mártir de mi desoída intuición mientras vago y lloro, perdido entre las calles que, tiempo atrás, besé como mías.
De tus labios quebrados pidiendo un segundo beso.
Y escucharte es el orgasmo de mil sirenas, el placer de una flota entera.
Y sus manos resecas, el desierto al que van a morir los sedientos.
Sobre mi cadáver, que de exquisito se derrite entre tus dedos.
Sobre la tierra seca se estrelló el silencio que le regaló al universo el sonido de sus manos acariciando su piel.
Y saborearla a besos es poco decir, poco querer.
La lumbre de su piel se paseaba en la oscuridad cuando la atacaba el insomnio.
Los pies descalzos, el cabello más largo, la mirada un poquito más triste, las lágrimas a flor de piel.
Lo besó como nunca; la pared a su espalda también lo besó, la valija le quemó y la soltó, y su boca ardió en un gemido.
El afuera era terror, ruido, agua hirviendo y piel latiendo.
Una nalga flotando, el cabello cayendo de su balcón en la torre, los pies al borde del abismo.
Odiaba ese río en el medio, odiaba las catorce canciones de distancia.




Y no por ser un cadáver significa que esté muerto. Son cinco años de darle vida a mis depresiones, a mis profundidades, a las palabras que me veo obligada a tragar, y de ayudarme a gritar más fuerte. Soy yo a través de los años, a través de mi historia, y no le pongo punto final porque no se termina acá.

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.

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...
