Y resulta que salgo de la ducha y sólo tengo una toalla. Entonces subo las escaleras con los pies mojados y saco el pantalón de pijama que me esperaba bajo la almohada. En la ausencia de la parte de arriba, revizo cajones y sólo encuentro más pantalones de antiguos pijamas, pero nada para arriba. Derechamente voy en topless a la pieza de mis padres, donde estaba mi mamá hablando por telefono, y busco al menos una camiseta o polera de esas que nadie usa y bien podrían servir de trapero, nada.
Me rindo y me pongo un chaleco antiguo y cubro el problema. Al rato llega mi mamá, abre la puerta de mi pieza, asoma su cabeza y musita: "¿Así que encontraste puros potos y cero tetas?"

Esto me recuerda a los primeros días de la creación del tiempo. Cuando todo era nada y el barro se nos incrustaba en las uñas con tanta furia que pareciera que buscaba devolvernos a nuestra primera forma ¿Era esa acaso nuestra verdadera forma? El proceso sería el producto y el barro sería entonces el pozo multiforme desde el que surgiríamos, sacudiéndonos las manos y limpiándonos pies. Pero no lo sabíamos como lo sabemos ahora y no podíamos tocarlo como de hecho podemos hacerlo hoy en mis entrañas; vísceras de pez degollado, de cerdo expuesto, de jabalí cazado, mientras el gran gancho de la verdad me atravieza y sujeta, hundido en la piel, en medio de esta podredumbre y este hedor.
El gancho, entonces, ¿tiene más de una forma?, acércate y tócalo, anda, mete la mano y siéntelo. Cuando desperté ya estaba boca abajo y la tarea ya había sido realizada. Sólo dime, ¿tiene más de una forma? porque si puedes sentirlo, entonces surgiremos también de esos restos y el gancho será un ancla. Pero si no...

Valerie
Ante el desamparo de mi condición reciente (no diré pasada porque sería negar la continuidad de mi vida y no diré presente porque me debo al cambio) hubo una cosa que me devolvió la vida, el sentido y en cierto grado la felicidad.
Así es, las palabras, nuevamente...
Valerie: It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. Valerie.
Y eso es hermoso.

Árboles y cielos
No se trata de besar el suelo y acomodarse en la superficie que se ha besado, pero han sido tiempos difíciles. Y ante el innegable giro que dio conmigo en el suelo, acaso sólo queda seguir girando, con la esperanza de, esta vez, terminar en un lugar mejor.
Eso me hizo pensar en esta canción:
I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree
Sí que han sido tiempos difíciles

"A Hope in Hell"
CHORONZON: I am a dire wolf, prey-stalking, lethal prowler.
MORPHEUS: I am a hunter, horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing.
CHORONZON: I am a horsefly, horse-stinging, hunter-throwing.
MORPHEUS: I am a spider, fly-consuming, eight legged.
CHORONZON: I am a snake, spider-devouring, posion-toothed.
MORPHEUS: I am an ox, snake-crushing, heavy footed.
CHORONZON: I am an anthrax, butcher, bacterium, warm-life destroying.
MORPHEUS: I am a world, space-floating, life nurturing.
CHORONZON: I am a nova, all-exploding... planet-cremating.
MORPHEUS: I am the Universe -- all things encompassing, all life embracing.
CHORONZON: I am Anti-Life, the Beast of Judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds... of everything. Sss. And what will you be then, Dreamlord?
MORPHEUS: I am hope.
