Para no olvidar
Poesía es eso que no conozco o que me esquiva.
Poesía es la espera ansiosa de algo bueno y los pensamientos que nos asaltan entonces.
Mis hijos haciendo preguntas mientras al este un relámpago rompe el cielo de la tarde…
Poesía es eso que no conozco o que me esquiva.
Lo encontré, dice mucho...
Esta noche he encontrado un fragmento de un texto de Neruda, una de esas cosas que se te ponen en el camino para hacerte entender que vale la pena seguir aqui, en esta tierra, en este día, by any means necessary. He aqui el fragmento:

Quiero recordar, a propósito de un comentario de un arquitecto y amigo, el cuento de Monterroso titulado El Dinosaurio, que fuera por algún tiempo el texto mas corto de la literatura universal, hay uno mas corto pero ello es materia de otra nota. El comentario de mi amigo me provoca a escribir desde la perspectiva de la edad profesional del arquitecto.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
