Quería rellenar este vano con una frase que hiciera de coordenadas para componer un espacio, dejar para después lo que podría hacer toda mi vida y mostrar mi sorpresa al encontrar el texto de un fragmento que escuché perdido entre melodías y declaraciones de dolores. Sé que al ser dicha, mi sorpresa será menos que una anécdota corta e insulsa. Lo que dice Julio no es algo más de lo que cualquiera podría darse cuenta, que el tiempo es relativo y que su futuro es mi presente que vivo desde el pasado, con el acceso a él que me deja su huella, una voz muerta, una grabación. Unas palabras y bum! todo se contrae hasta desaparecer y dejar este vacío que me provoca repulsión, donde no sé si inventar o continuar con la que se ha vuelto mi tradición de "ágrafo trágico", simulando decir. Estoy segura de que si Girondo no hubiera [d]escrito la enfermedad no estaría yo viviendo este aciago futuro, desde un pasado que no es el mío. Ningún pasado es propio, eso no tiene nada de nuevo ni de trágico, pero si el futuro tampoco lo es el presente se vuelve insulso y anecdotario.

Crustáceo decápodo que vive en caparazones vacíos de caracoles; porque Girondo ya no está aquí, tampoco Julio. Sólo queda este punto de inflexión donde necesito buscar los momentos que todavía no existen para mí. Quedarme parada frente a la estufa con la lucecita de la campana prendida, tampoco ayudará porque esa es una solución de un futuro que para mí es pasado. Suena lógica la funcionalidad que tiene crearse un hijo para depositar en él toda mi tragedia, pero además de ser una solución poco original es demasiado obvia. Crear un personaje para quien mi tiempo presente está en su futuro y su presente es mi futuro ya pasado, en implosión todo, donde reconstruirá desde el vacío y que además éste sea mi hijo acrecenta el conflicto para quien ser hijo es la única opción. Crearme un personaje que, por el contrario, fuera el padre para poder continuar en mi posición de hijo sigue siendo un plagio y una opción poco viable, caería en una espiral de mi tragedia: el presente del "hijo" que es el futuro ya pasado del "padre", donde ese hijo debe componer un futuro al cual accederá desde su presente, que será el pasado de otro.

En fin, son tres puntos. Y se tienen los tres en todo momento, es casi como una versión circular del tiempo y el espacio. El pasado que es presente y que determina el futuro que para otros es un presente no ausente del pasado. Es casi hermenéutico. Pero fuera de lo criticable que tienen las palabras "determina", "padre", "hijo" y lo reiterativo que tiene todo esto

[además de que no explicaré ahora por qué es casi hermenéutico ni explicitaré el tema de la versión circular del espacio que en realidad no es sólo espacio sino espacio-tiempo],

hay detrás una obsesión provocada por la idea del "ágrafo" y lo cerca que está eso de ser visitado por otras memorias toda la vida sin poder jamás ser ese visitante. Ser un viajero o ser el sedentario de los caparazones abandonados, invasor; aportar o recoger lo que aleatoriamente llegue. Voz al fin muerta o depositario inanimado donde las palabras hacen lo suyo. Y como las palabras no son malas ni buenas... a saber lo que pasará, cualquier aletoriedad seguramente. No quiero imaginar cuántas otras tragedias me visitarán con Bartleby y compañía. Las implosiones me repugnan pero detesto dejar "espacios" en blanco cuando esto ocurre.

A few days later found Colin in the kitchen with Ed, anxiously scratching at his warts. But he could never get a good scratch in because Phil had placed two oven mitts on Colin's hands.

I can't find the butterfly coat,the one where fringes float across your knees,the flattened pancake, twirling violets,"Two layers of butter", she says "please".she reassures "it's fine, don't."but of course, it is not within my handsso I must look for it.where is the butterfly coat?were you caught in a web when I wasn't looking,when I was forgetting my name?you stir your coffee with a knife.I didn't have time to have time,locked in a shelf with dustspilling over the edges.a waterfall of broken bones,of greys, blues, and browns,of abandoned snail shellsthat crinkle together the most shivering sounds.We know how to make choices.We know what a choice is.You'll feed the dog later,I'll fix the clock later,I'll learn to love you.stuffed noses, red cheeks,open wounds, abrupt sneezes.(god, why are we so obvious?)you do know that you're going to need years,the world, for those tears.I've never known anything more vulnerable,a sniffling mass of flesh,in my arms and slain.

scotch

golden glass, with the light in you,
streams of effervescence from your depths,
even when I swallow you, sin in you,
still you elude me.

crows

A splashed design of crows laughs in the trees,
Black as stains, numerous as concert-goers.
The subject of invented horrors, these
As absolute as darkness make their mark,
And preen, and flutter past, and dance on air.
Here they will sleep, a mob of thoughtful shapes
Over the passing people. Here one shakes
His feathers out; two others swing and caw;
Still others hunch there, motionless, severe.
Below, some march about like bent old men,
Socializing, talking and meddling
Sometimes bending to push beaks in the grass.
When night comes, sometimes one makes small complaint
And everywhere their rustling makes space.

They fell into a rythm of small kindnesses such as these. Joe, knowing Alexis's single-minded nature, would pick up the kitchen when he visited, and in return Alexis would put a blanket at the foot of the couch whenever Joe fell asleep. Never over him, but just within reach, so whenever wanted it, it would be there. Alexis was strange this way. He was reserved. He never casually brushed against people, or looked directly at them when they ate. Without meaning to, Joe sometimes crossed boundaries he didn't know were there. Like once he noticed Alexis's clothes on the floor. They were rumpled and obviously dirty, and he took them with him next time he went to the laundry. Whenever he got back, Alexis was waiting for him by the door, a quiet look of panic on his small features. and whenever he handed the folded clothes back, there was a something there that reminded him of a rat. He didn't say a word. It was never mentioned, and Alexis did not act differently around him, but Joe never saw his clothes on the floor again. Nor were they in the hamper. Joe had no idea where they went.

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

for being born

for not being perfect

for feeling guilty

for being selfish

for costing money

for consuming

for producing waste

for breaking your heart.

Why do you love me

when all I do is wrong?

I am so tired of being guilty.

I am so sick of regret.

Gratitude

How do you say Thank You when the words are plainly inadequate, when someone or something has had an effect so profound that your soul is touched? It is the example of others that teaches what words cannot. Good people being who they are, so generous and kind. Lessons are learned unnoticed. Other people's consequences are also lessons learned. People, by nature, are fallible beings. That being said, it is truly inspiring to see what you aspire to be, to be faced with the realization that nothing is impossible regardless of how it may seem, to see that adversity doesn't only breed contempt.There is something to be said for those who can truly forgive. That is the most difficult of things. It is much easier to hold on to the hurt than it is to just let it go, easier to overanalyse than let it be. The grip just cannot be loosened without forgiveness, and the road to forgiveness is never a stroll in the park. It can be just as arduous as whatever it is that needs to be forgiven. Finally seeing the possibility as a reality is quite profound. In theory, it seemed impossible, at least to me. But not so much, not anymore. I can feel the weight slightly lifted from my shoulders. There is now hope to be free from this burden that I have born for so long. For that glimmer of hope, the hope that one day it will finally be far behind, I say Thank You. It is still just not enough.
