The reunion

Falling asleep, Revolution stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, Fernanda left just a few minutes before. They had being drinking and chatting. Revolution felt some comfort sliding down her throat, she had suddenly forgotten the horrors of the last days. The memories kept coming, old days, they seemed so far away, so lost, so unreachable now. Fernanda knew, when she left, that Revolution would go back to her eternal blackness, there was nothing to do about it. Fernanda was kinda gray herself. There was nothing to do about it. The truth, the horrible heavy truth, was that the scars taken by the war were impossible to erase. They were tattooed so deep in their minds. For a night -at least- they didn't hurt anymore. Revolution closed her eyes when the sun started to appeared in the horizon. She didn't dream, there where no nightmares to hunt her today. For a few days the warm feeling of comfort stood with the girls, even China notice the change in Revolutions face.

- Are ya smiling? Sweetie, are you smiling?
- Why do ask?
- I've never saw you smiling, I think... nop, never.
- There's always a first time, ain't it?
- Hahaha, yeah, always a first.
- So... what is it? Is it a guy? I've never heard ya mention a guy...
- No, it isn't a guy.
- A girl then?... a girl!
- Hahaha, it is a girl indeed, an old friend... not what you think.
- A girl... friend.
- No, no, just a girl who is friend, a very old friend form... well, home.

In many years, this was the first time Revolution dared to think about her old country as home. For her, for all those who were involved in the movement, home was an ancient concept lost between bullets and suffering. Tonight, at least tonight, there was no place like home. Revolutions mind was in peace.

Minimizando

Extrañando 1 She says she's got what I need, the right amount of it all. I say I've got no room for her, she should now be gone. We wonder if it'll ever be, whatever it is we're both looking for. I know, it'll be, it'll apart that's all. 2 En la tarde, con la luz del sol cayendo sobre los lomos de los volúmenes más antiguos, ella recordaba la vez que hablaron bajo el árbol del fin del mundo. Siglos después, te sigue extrañando. 3 Hoy tengo cierta zozobra en la cabeza y la lluvia ha hecho un charco en mi mente. Se me enmoheció la memoria. 4 Quiso decir que no tenía tiempo, dar la media vuelta y marcharse. Sus ojos se lo impidieron como siempre.  Extraños Por semanas he cazado a este ser extraño. Me ha eludido entre las aguas los árboles. Le he encontrado agazapado entre la hierba. Me miró a los ojos con rudeza y dijo: ¡despierta! Ahora sé que tendré que volver a buscarlo.

L...

Ayer, por un momento, por un vago instante de tormenta, sentí que te me ibas... creo que era mi culpa... Tal vez un egoísmo insatisfecho fue la causa, quizá sólo un ánimo letárgico que nació con las olas saladas que golpearon mi rostro. Creí que te perdía... me sentí morir. ¿No ves tú que eres la única vida plena que tengo? ¿No ves que contigo mi vacío inútil encuentra entretenimiento? ¡Mírame ahora! El mar que derraman mis ojos pesa en las piernas, se me doblan, he caído. Estoy convencida de que mis palabras hacen mella, hacen llaga, te atormentan... es suicidio. Las palabras se me han doblado entre sollosos y creo que he perdido la cordura, me duele el mundo sobre la espalda, me duelen tus ojos lluviosos y tus cabellos de noche a los que se les están cayendo estrellas. Ya no llores. No me cubras con oleadas de reproches líquidos, no me ahogues en el sísmico lamento de tu llanto. Ya no llores. ¿No ves que me matas? ¿No ves que ya no soporto? Anda, déjame absorberte en besos y caricias...

Desire

Falling... the ocean swallows my heart, my brain, I think no more. I got lost in the sea. That's all.  Falling... deep. I feel the water in my launghs, the heavy burgain of the past running deep into my throught. I'm guessing is some sort of redemption, the killing of a shadow. No, I am not suicidal. I just want to eliminate the nasty feeling of that someone who's being watching me all this time. So... I got myself into the ocean, swalloed the water in an impulse for redemption... redemption. Cleansingnes -what I need. It is a crazy desire -I know, yet a strong desire. I must go for it. I must let myself go into the ocean, fall into the water, go deep... deeper... deeper. The water is cold, solid and so blue it almost feels black. My body is a mere mass of colapsing air. Nothing is left to be told, to apologise, to forget, 'cause everything if washed by the salt pushing it out of my skin. Heavyly, I fall. Once my feet had touched the bottom -rock bottom- I begin the jo...
