HASTA EL MISMO SOL

Te miro y no me miras.
Te miro otra vez,
atravesando con mis ojos,
verdes,
limpios,
y que miran al pasado
y lo incorporan al futuro,
tu cuerpo,
invisible,
transparente,
con falta de ánimo,
con falta de sal,
o ¿Quizá tú eres de sal como la mujer de Lot?

Te miro,
pero tú no me verás,
y lo más triste es que sé
que me buscarás un día
y no me encontrarás,
pues el amor dado se acondiciona al amor recibido,
y además el muy cabrón abandona el corazón
si no es correspondido,
de la noche a la mañana
se fuga por las ventanas
tapiadas de la habitación.

Ya sabiendo que eres fría,
vanidosa,
celosa,
envidiosa,
y amante de los pedestales,
te elevare hasta el mismo sol
y allí te dejare…

SUN DRENCHED TROPICS

Sunburnt skin
and bloodshot eyes,
wading in shallow water,
dirty feet have crossed through dirty sand,
forgetting all the fairy tales they’ve spoken.
Lies, confusion,
confusion, lies…

A figure,
(perhaps a man?)
rises from the shark infested ocean.
On his shoulders,
trembling from the icy cold of
sun-drenched tropics,
sit the forgotten,
the hungry,
the beautiful,
the ignorant
and the fools.
Where to my laughing friends?
The foolish ask..
As far as I can tell.
we’re on our way to hell…

Who was Susan Sontag? Well for those who do not know, I will tell you that she was a writer, a novelist, a philosopher as well as a professor, movie director and scriptwriter who also directed theatrical pieces. She was born in New York in 1933…

Susan was born of American Jewish parents. She was raised in Los Angeles and in Tucson, Arizona. She studied at the University of Berkley, and as well in Oxford, Chicago and Harvard. In some of these she also taught. Although she had a brief marriage to Philip Rieff, she divorced and began relationships with Harriet Sohmers Zwerling, with the Cuban playwright María Irene Fornés and with Annie Liebowitz during the final stages of her life.

​She was a prolific writer, both novels and movies. The movies she directed were: Duett för kannibaler (Duet for Cannibals) (1969), Broder Carl (Brother Carl) (1971), Promised Lands (1974) and Unguided Tour AKA Letter from Venice (1983). All these movies had limited viewings.

Susan Sontag died in 2004.

Seems like a question mark floating on a warm, blue sea that turns treacherous, as it leans forward to kiss,

and the question is,

what is your forever?

Drawing with the sun on my shoulders…

Drawing with my feet on the desk and a beer in the freezer waiting for the sun to melt the icicles in the window so that a little ray of warmth can penetrate the room…

Drawing while I think time is passing much too soon…
