no term of reference to illustrate the point in which the dimensions of
time flare up in an impossible vertex before the future: the point in
which the past and present can be visualised to be gathered totally in
a complete sense.
The child seems to disappear from the stick
supporting the old man's steps.
Falling in love surrenders to the daily practices
of love like pain resounding softly and faintly, whether the wound is
healed or the emotions of new pains overflowing.
The wealth of money freezes space in forms of rigid equilibriums. The
mirrors of poverty have dimensions, which are more open than time itself.
Deep, thick fog follows the day as well as the night, with crooked shreds
of sun, the hours and years accumulate, sometimes to conceal, more often
than not, to deny.
A hut, a monument, a battlemented tower to protect the palace and crystal
paths, the grey, asphalt ribbons and the paved roads, still alive, after
the wars, when the ampulla of hatred has been emptied, and when the chalices
of peace have been drained.
With the same usual ancient colour, in the
shadow of emotions and in the solitude of memories loaded on the future.
When cribs stretch like elastic and shepherds' outlines direct the sun
at the shadows.
What is no more is simply infinitely small;
what exists, for the individual, for the group, for the multitudes, for
the spaces covered with branches and leaves, is again, infinitely small.
What we were twenty, forty or fifty years ago, does not give back to the
present the emotional charges that push forward.
What has been, in spite of whether the real times have been consumed,
becomes a self projection, like a graph that represents the occurrence,
in the memory, in the written word, in the material signs, occupying the
present.
In any graveyard of memories, our image of
time fades, losing its colour until it returns the blackest non recollection.
The measures of the past recall to the tendencies of the present the impossibility
of a jump that has already been taken.
The shapes of events, which have been lived, become roused in the passing
hours and in the space, which dilates forms and light itself.
Plans for war and peace, the laces of love
and hate, the suffering of the weak and the dominance of the strong, the
injustices of wealth and the endless requests of the poor, the generosity
of the humble and the selfishness of idiots intertwine and come unstuck.
Whirls engraved on the abstract of ideological constructions and evanescent
apriori rationalities. Contrasts nourished in the roots of passions and
in the clear crystalline of sentiments like in the rainbow, after the
storm.
Rhythms, cadences and pauses, offer meanings
and sense to define the decipherable contours and confines of the memory.
The dwarfs swarm happily in the desert, shrouded in the solitude of their
great, almost eternal present. Also the giants are mirrored like astonished
and superfluous symbols, on the unequal and insecure limits of horizons.
And halfway, instincts and rationalities, reflect and echo the thrust
of the new day, already heralded, which, like the arrow that goes beyond
space, needs its empennage to balance the hours.
