"And now tell the sea,
bitter grief , iodine and salt "
(Rubén Darío:" In the album of Rachel Catalá)



A subtle change in time and space disoriented me. I was so young! down to the sea. The day was an extraordinary beauty, almost suspicious.

The stone steps led me alive, and they had seduced my steps with impunity.

Suddenly I was twelve years. He wore a white camisole, fresh and fragrant. The surrounding world was devoid of any hostility .... The bitterness and disappointment, guilt and resentment, the big mouth disappeared from the horizon opposite to the storm.

And among its species flying. They disappeared, and suddenly pine ducks, robins, sparrows and parrots are burrowing away in a squad multiforme and bizarre. Hasty. Was happening. Occurred in the uncertain sky of the courtyard. And it seemed like a fact to ignore. I wanted to get out immediately!


The house was misleading because I had no way out of sight. Just ... the offer. A trap?

Maybe. I tried for years

opening to the outside of the walls.

And, with so many exercises to force failed searches, I became familiar with its walls, floors, its ceilings whimsical, capricious. Knew, would not surprise me. It was my mother's womb when I matured, even though someone or something is featured on windy nights.
