O Centauro no Jardim

-
Os bichinhos do zoológico ou mesmo os de fora dele que me perdoem, mas a descrição é fundamental. Aqui uma lista (feita as pressas, na verdade) dos homens com os quais você não deve manter um relacionamento (amoroso), possivelmente nem de amizade. Na minha atual conjuntura, diria que melhor nem entrar em contato ao menor sinal de fumaça. Afinal de contas, onde existe fumaça, existe fogo ou alguém fumando. Pode ser um cigarro, pode ser um charuto, mas também pode ser maconha ou algo mais pesado como crack. Portanto, se você não se sente bem com entorpecentes - em outras palavras isso não lhe interessa - corra. Fuja, troque o telefone, a cidade, o nome. Mas nunca fique para ver o que vai dar. Pois no frigir dos ovos, sempre dá merda. Principalmente se for uma mulher cosmopolita, requintada e sensível. Caso contrário, se você for uma mulher-vaca, não irá encontrar problema algum em se relacionar com o(s):

homem-sapo; homem-cavalo; homem-lagartixa; homem-rato; homem-porco; homem-ameba; homem-barata; homem-minhoca; homem-burro; homem-cachorro; homem-dragão-de-comodo; homem-cobra; homem-galinha; homem-peixe; homem-pássaro. A lista prosseguirá com definições e, possivelmente, acréscimos.

O trabalho me chama. Até breve.

To Someone

The architecture of the city is plural and restless. Your voice comes and goes. The sky was pale blue today. White here and there. Clouds. Whispers.  Our dialog is more vivid now. I still see how intense your eyes are. You come and go from me. But I know you never really leave. At least, that is the illusion that keeps me - going? I see patterns. They make sense. Like you made sense a while ago. I can't reason with Love, can I? Love, this palpable, irrational measurement of attachment and desire.  I don't know if you are the same anymore. The same I knew.  Did I ever know you? It doesn't matter because you fit like a symptom fits a disease. You fit my fantasy. My fantasy was so concrete and so tangible. I play us in my head. If I had. If you had. But history doesn't rewrite itself.  I can't walk down the street to try and find you.   Unchanged sea. Under the same sheltering sky. I love you.

Writing

Unresolved pain. Nostalgia. Fire. Vivid dreams at night. Immense love.  I read the other day something an old friend once told me. Go back to what you were good at when you were a child. That's where your natural talent is. I go back, and so many things come up. So many interests. Infinite curiosity. I loved words when I was a child. But I also loved animals and nature. I also loved music and poetry. The beach made me go without sleep. I also loved to dance. I remember attracting people's comments while dancing at parties. Not because I was good but because I did my own thing.  I also liked cooking and baking from an early age. Books were also my private world.  But who am I now, forty years later?  I listen to Riccardo Cocciante, and my heart fills with raw emotion. How can someone be so good and write the most beautiful songs? I need to understand Italian better, but what I know and feel with his songs is beyond anything material.  The power of art has to move...

Letting you go

Sunday Afternoon by Rachael Yamagata. I know it's the right thing to do, but the right thing to do hurts like crazy. I see your presence in my apartment. I see ghosts of you. Messages that I don't want to read. It hit me hard this time. Tuesday morning, I am sitting by the window. It rains. I feel guilty and the wind blows slowly drops of blood. Maybe that's a sign. Someone said: if you like him that much, fight for him. I fought for you. I had you in my hands. I gave you so many opportunities. I gave you so much more than you deserved. It's getting cold. You slapped my face. I cried in your arms. I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't talk anymore. My projects are on hold. I can barely work. I write and I write and the pain doesn't go away.
