[Genesis]

“I’m seeing things as half-empty again,
the glass of water, the plane, the old lipsticks
& bottles of lotion, the void, the room,
the table that could sit just one more,
the basement, the spaces between sidewalks.
The sky is even half-empty without the crowd
of clouds that used to guide me to a half-empty home,
a bed half-filled with a love that was still never enough,
the way that her tears would soak the sheets.”

[Genesis]

Hay países que yo recuerdo
como recuerdo mis infancias.
Son países de mar o río,
de pastales, de vegas y aguas.
Aldea mía sobre el Ródano,
rendida en río y en cigarras;
Antilla en palmas verdi-negras
que a medio mar está y me llama;
¡roca lígure de Portofino,
mar italiana, mar italiana!

Me han traído a país sin río,
tierras-Agar, tierras sin agua;
Saras blancas y Saras rojas,
donde pecaron otras razas,
de pecado rojo de atridas
que cuentan gredas tajeadas;
que no nacieron como un niño
con unas carnazones grasas,
cuando las oigo, sin un silbo,
cuando las cruzo, sin mirada.

Quiero volver a tierras niñas;
llévenme a un blando país de aguas.
En grandes pastos envejezca
y haga al río fábula y fábula.
Tenga una fuente por mi madre
y en la siesta salga a buscarla,
y en jarras baje de una peña
un agua dulce, aguda y áspera.

Me venza y pare los alientos
el agua acérrima y helada.
¡Rompa mi vaso y al beberla
me vuelva niñas las entrañas!

knows the coming of Autumn
Only by the sound of his own voice".

when the sun goes down
into desolate night.
Come morning,
everything we bare
has learned to expire on its own."

“One only understands the things that one tames,” said the fox. “Men have
no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the
shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so
men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me. . .”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
