She took it all, wanting to leave nothing behind. What I can see, what I couldn't... She took it all. I remained hollow, I remained empty and I don't know where to begin. She took it all and the spaces that I had left deserted were now full of her... Where do I begin? How do I start? One by one I go around searching for the emptyness to return, going through my spaces, my little corners of memory and feeling. One by one I look and search, and I stumble onto photographs, words and emotions, I rip them all away... Bury me deep. She took it all... But she forgot that I remained, the itsy bitsy little pieces of the old me - the always me - stood in their places. Where do I begin? In the deepest corners of the forest? At the highest top of the mountains? In the far caves of the sea? I shall begin with the one waiting at the end of the world... Come back.

Down upon the hill of time, the sun comes down... Clouds in the oceans reflection of the night, the moon is near... It is the last drop of wine in the bottle, the ultimate ray of light in the cave, the wisper of a falling leaf... I have seen the end of times in my dreams, it's nothing like this. I have heard the hollow bottom of the ocean, it's nothing like this. There's a cloud and a tree, there's a glass between her and me thick, heavy, obscure... but I can see. It is my face the one in the water, I know. Mutis.

Recuerdo aquel día. Estaba sentada en el parque con un mundo alterno entre las palmas y la cabeza indesiza entre sambullirse en él o no... Pasaste frente a mí, la verdad es que no lo supe hasta que me lo dijiste semanas después, nunca te ví... Miraba atónita los recobecos del planeta colorido que se extendía entre mis dedos, quería explorarlo de cabo a rabo sin sentirme atada al mundo que ahora habito. Las aves trinaban, el aire mecía muy despacio las copas de los árboles, algunos niños jugaban mientras sus padres los observaban platicando entre sí, había gente trotando y caminando, pasaban otros en bicicleta. Yo sostenía ese mundo inocuo, casi falaz. Yo quería huir... Dejé de pronto que las olas de letras me llevaran entre su espuma y me sumergí lentamente entre las llanuras del mundo desconocido...

He estado pensando que he olvidado decir en letras altas muchas cosas, gritar en mayúsculas y hablar en lenguajes altisonantes que se vean como símbolos sin sentido. Creo que la hora ha vuelto. Hoy hago como que retomo las andanzas y sigo mis pasos entre las líneas somnolientas, quizá la resaca me dure un rato, pero aflojaré los dedos pronto y comenzaré a teclear como antes, con ganas... Así es la vida, de cuando en cuando una necesita un descanso de la propia mente, éste se ha terminado. Bienvenida de vuelta al mundo...

One side of the road feels like closing in... will it do so? One of my very old launhgs feels like drowning and I despear... I tend to scream at the wind as it passes by it never answers I'd like to be in the ocean with the water close to my nose up my lips near my ears... with water in my mind.. I have to say I'm not particulary fun not today not even yesterday will I be so tomorrow? I kindda have this thoughts of floading of pushing my mind to the edge this thoughts of nothing... Got a blank mind? I hope I do... I want it I need it I forgot how to forget Need a brake? need a breath? need a life? is it over yet, father? are we there yet, mother? will I ever be there, sis? I won't venture a guess Is useless Isn't it? Recently I'm there... at the edge, I mean closer, closest bored to death drowned in boreness floaded with nothing inanimity... unliving, undeath, underneath... I got a typing machine, this came out of it... randomness of feeling of thought of word of me...

Voices, sweet deep voices... Lights in the dark Forgotten words faces, eyes, feelings Forgotten worlds Fire's gone... Whater has come wash everything away! Rebuild... Reborn... reborn...

I'm sorry I couldn't keep up I got lost in the silence I forgot how to follow You left me Behind a sea of wondering into the sand of lust I got lost I'm sorry... darling, I'm so sorry You went away runing I remained I reamain... I'm still here, my love If you ever seek for me If you ever need me If you ever...

Come oh sweet shadow come to my eyes explain the meaning of this of all... Come oh sweet demon take me... take me... posses me... Come and I'll wellcome you in my mind in my heart in my blood... Speak at loud Scream to my ears I'll follow... I'll follow... I belong to you, my sweet shadow

Is this pain I feel? Yes, it is... Is this fear? Yes, it is... Does it mean I'm human? Yes, it does... Could you wipe it away? No, I can't... The world fell into silence, you fell into silence, I fell into silence... Is it fire I see on the horizon? Yes, it is... Is it mine? Yes, it is... Can I play with it? Yes, you can... I got burn and you didn't care, you watched me playing with my fire and you didn't care... Would you save me? No, I won't... You ran away from me and I didn't cry, I got burn, I got burn... I got ashes...

Standing at the edge... flamed tree red sea a sky of fire Standing at last. Looking for a meaning in the actions in the words in the sounds last spoken Searching for a truth bigger higher brighter in a sky of flames Speak, scream, madness... Oh dear, oh solitude Oh great spetations of vague Oh rampage of shadow Oh poor little old me Eyes of void heart of rage see the thunder at the edge of the world the thunder standing there... there... The thunder... she stands with the tree in her hand she stands and it all fades away she stands... its gone she remains Thunder brings rain from her eyes, it falls from her heart, it bleeds Thunder brings destruction

Call, call, call A phone rings in the distance. Be there... go... NOW! The voice on the other side orders Be there... go... NOW! Revenge is in her eyes... You see her on the window... Jump, you want, you think. JUMP! you scream, she listens, she jumps. I want revenge, she says behind you. Vengance... I want it... The cold in her voice is the voyd in her eyes. She wants it, revenge... You think, you run, she follows. A dark night on the alley, a cold street with no lights, a scream swallowed, two hot hands of red, two cold hearts of blue, one purple mouth on the ground. You don't think, you run, she stares, she follows. Blue and red lights... You see them, they don't see you. Go! Now! Be gone! She runs like hell, you go the other way. The lights fade... the noice fades... everything fades... Her gun pointed at you, your body on the floor... I told you, she says, I wanted revenge, I needed revenge... Your eyes closed, your purple mouth on the street, you feel cold, you feel nothi...

Me gustaría cerrar mis oídos, apagar mis ojos y esperar con la mente puesta en la nada a que se me olvide tu silueta. Tu sombra me sigue, atada a mis zapatos como si fuera mía, sin irse lejos como yo quisiera, sin esfumarse de pronto. No sufro, no lloro, no sangro... Mis venas están cansadas de hervir al contacto de una mirada que ya no reconocen, que ya no recuerdan, que aún sienten por no sé qué desgracia del destino. ¡Déjame! ¡Desaparece! Te lo ordeno con una voz de fuego, cansada de gritar, cansada de roer entre los sonidos una explicación poco prometedora. Claro que tú no me oyes, no te hablo a ti de todas formas sino a tu recuerdo... Respiro y siento el aire helado inflar mis pulmones, respiro para que mi corazón deje de palpitar tan rápido, respiro para recordar que sigo aquí... Respiro... con los pies en el suelo, con la mente lejana, con el alma perdida. Inhalo el hueco que se quedó en tu lugar, ese que espera ser disminuído y rellenado de recuerdos indoloros, ese que no te ag...

Long, deep and painful Far… far… The road down has begun Say goodbye… Stand up and walk, You must… you must… Don't let it bring you down Not again… not again It's too late. Tears, blood, sweat… Bodies on fire, Bodies cursed in the sky, Fly! Go! You must! Leave me behind! I'll take the pain for you… I'll sacrifice, leave me… Leave us… go… Voices in the dark, Deep voices screaming, Voices of men and women, Voices in suffering, Voices of lust… Consumed by noise, I get into the voices. Goodbye.

Life has hit you, hasn't it? It gave you its best punch, and bam! You're down. Get up, you fool. Get on your feet and start walking. It's time to go! It's time to go now! Follow the leader! Foolish kid…   If the voice inside your head is laughing at you, what do you do? I've tried to run and hide, but it seeks me and knows where to find me…   Hello, hello!! Are you there? Marco… Marco…   You see? I never answer to its games, I just run and run and run… Like hell I run! I've tried to fly but it always gets to me while in the open.   Bang! Bang! Bang! Hahaha, you're down again, you see? You cannot run, better stop trying.   And I just lie there, injured and resigned to my fate. I see its eyes lingering on mine and feel its breath on my face. It laughs at me. I look at it with my eyes voided… oblivion. I hope for oblivion.

Maybe if the river had floated somewhere else I would've forgotten you in an instant. Here I am, lying on the ground, Hearing steps, screams and names. Here I am, lying on the surface, Is this moon going anywhere at all? Chase me please, I'll might need you later, My wandering star of dust.   There was a time when I thought you were brilliant, Shining over the edge of the world, Fighting demons with several faces, Crushing fantasies of mindless kids. I thought you were insane, Standing there, Screaming for me, Crying at the wind. I left… I left…   Maybe I'll be there again, sitting under the clouds, I would see your face on the sun, The burning face of a distant memory. I will not cry, Never scream. I will linger at the dawn, With the vicious dog sitting next to me, Barking at the moonlight rising. An maybe I will laugh with him.   Save your soul, poor mariner of spaces, I will hunt you down if you need it. I'll stay with you if you wan...
