en el espacio no existe arriba abajo

solamente

alrededor

danzo


cuarenta y un veces con las estrellas


FRIDAY, JULY 03, 2015

Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Moon

in space

it does not exist

down

up

only

around

dancing

forty-one times

with the stars

work in progress


ahora que el tiempo

me interpela

camino

intercambio


un dibujo

una esquela


el mapa de mi barrio hace un siglo:

cierro los ojos

veo lo que estuvo 


y no es nostalgia



llevo en mí la hermosa música nueva


TUESDAY, JULIO 07, 2015

work in progress

now that time

questions me

i walk

i swap

a drawing

a note

the map of my neighbourhood a century ago:

i close my eyes

i see what is gone

and it is not nostalgia

i carry within me the beauty of music


VIERNES, JULIO 10, 2015


tesoro, profundo color


piedra en mano

apretada


cambia

modifica



energía disgrega

concentración

vuela

suelta


bailo hasta que apagan la luz del lugar

la luna


río



canción que amo

no pares ya




FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015

treasure, deep color

stone in hand

tight

changing

amending

energy disintegrates

concentration

flying

releasing

i dance until the lights go out

the moon

i flow

song that i love

please, never stop


Sincro


explicame


de este lado, la luna

allá la luna, sí

y más cerca el sol


decime


cuáles son

las olas que tocás


siento

la arena que pisás


me ves


Sync

explain to me

here, the moon

there, the moon, yes

and so close, the sun

tell me

which are

the waves you touch

i feel

the sand under your feet

you see me

polaróides


ao folhear o álbum perdido, olhando para a câmera. stills de um filme antigo

auto-retrato, jogo de aparências: atrevimento, concentração. office killer, nadadora, naïve. de pernas cruzadas, sentada na janela

já não reconhece mais as perucas, os disfarces

as imagens se desintegram. são apenas paródias, mutilações

corpos de manequins de plástico desmembrados, disformes


polaroids


while flipping over the lost album, gazing at the camera. stills from an old movie

self-portrait, a game of semblances: daring, self-communing. office killer, swimmer, naive. seated at a window, cross-legged

she no longer recognizes the wigs, the disguises

the images disintegrate. these are mere parodies, mutilations

bodies of plastic mannequins

dismembered, deformed

Onde minha mãe acaba

comigo, e eu começo, onde

meu pai, no quarto escuro

se move sobre ela, murmura

e se altera, onde eu, de novo

despido, não esbarro, passo

no corredor estreito, entre

os dois raspando, onde ela para

e ele recomeça, onde eu cresço

onde ela espera o arremesso dele

meu, onde eu, onde ela, onde ele

onde nós, apertados, apartados, curtos

nos cruzamos, com a luz apagada?


Where my mother ends

within me, and I begin, where

my father, in a dark room

moves over her, whispers

and shifts, where I, naked

again, don’t stumble, walk through

the narrow corridor, among

the two grazing, where she stops

and he starts again, where I grow

where she waits for his hurling

mine, where I, where she, where he

where we, crumpled, divided, reduced

meet, with the lights off.
