La matemática de Lorenzo
Tenía ocho años.
Llevaba 2,920 días pestañeando, jugando bajo el sol, contando las estrellas.
Había conocido el inhalar y exhalar por solo ocho años, su nombre era Lorenzo.
Tenía ocho años.
Era una semilla más de nosotros cuya vida arrancaron.
Si estás escuchando esto, has tenido el privilegio de que tu corazón ha latido al menos, 29.2 millones de veces más que el suyo.
Tenía ocho años.
Dos hermanas y con ellas al menos mil mañas despertó, trascendió, amó.
Un padre que de lejos al menos dos veces en semana lo veía y una mamá que lo por nueve meses lo albergó antes de traerlo al mundo.
Tenía ocho años y por andar curoseando le hicieron doler hasta que no le quedó más sangre por sangrar.
Dos litros de sangre sobre un periodo de 300 minutos su cuerpo fue perdiendo.
Tenía ocho años y fueron tres las heridas punzantes y al menos dos centímetros hacia adentro del cerebro que le enterraron el tabique.
Tenía ocho años y por 18,000 reclamó en angustia a 4 metros de distancia, a aquella persona que lo convirtió en persona, que le permitiera vivir.
Tenía ocho años y en el escenario planteado, al menos hubo 4 personas que pudieron haberlo mantenido con vida. Quien lo trajo al mundo, bajo el mismo techo, permitió que se lo llevaran.

Her
Her
I give her my bones
I give her my heart beat.
I wake up every morning to feed her,
to dress her,
to be her.
Every breath of mine is hers.
Every day I face her.
I look in the mirror,
I reach out to touch her.
My vague smile tries to quiet her voice;
It never takes me too long to realize,
I can't control her volume anymore.
She stares back at me.
She's done it once more...
Insisting on the fact,
that my best isin't enough.
I shamefully look down.
Promise to do better..
But she doesn't care.
I know that tomorrow,
I'll make me remember,
all my mistakes.

Love
Held me at gun point...while my criss cross stare tried to grasp the correct information to send to my brain.
Intervals of being lost, concave up, concave down.
A rush through my veins quite like nothing else experienced before.
"I am not, was not, will not become unafraid of this, ever." I uttered nervously-
His hand clasped suddenly to mine, forcefully.
Aiming forward to his criss cross stare he held my hand over the trigger of another pistol and gave me the option to run a bullet through his brain..
while saying I love you.

Fine
It comes in tides and waves,
missing you that is.
Most of the time I'm fine,
and then I lose myself.
In your exhales against my neck.
the sheets, the sighs.
Most of the time I'm fine
and then I lose myself.
In the first "I love you",
when one hopes to hear something twice,
just to feel your own heart stop and beat again.
The brushing of my hair behind my ear,
the pencil against all the papers of songs I wrote you.
Most of the time I'm fine..
But then it rains and I'm reminded of the screams, the whys, the last words that I didin't know were last.
And it's all one sad song, that replays in my head.
Its called "Most of the time I'm fine."

Crimson
The crime scene
is always different,
but the amount of blood stays the same.
Shades of crimson anger under my nails,
sounds of echoed pain in my head.
Shattered glass against the skin,
and I'm the one digging deep,
instructed by all the standards I didn’t meet this time.
Again.
Because all the mirrors show the world that takes my life away.
Its walls of insecurity that shift to currencies of nations,
to the ground of ideals through which my heavy troubled thoughts always falls.
Again.
My nails scream crimson despair.
For all the bodies that fall like tears every second that goes by.
For the power that is never shared equally,
for the hope of something better that never lasts.
For the place I am given determined from what I have between my legs.
For all the things I wish I could change, but I know I can't.
So I fall through the cracks of an invented system, through the broken mirrors that I smash- the portrait of the truth I can't accept.
Again.
I keep wearing broken dreams as smiles,
walking through fractured mirrors building castles.
On which I'm safe from everybody else, but myself.

Ya no me tienes
dónde en el camino perdimos los nervios?... dónde quedaron los abrazos porque sí?
y las palabras mal gastadas lo arruinaron, entre dos...
cuando de dos historias se bifurcaron mil teorías sin razón porque el sentido estaba abrumado?
cuándo nos alcanzó el precipicio del silencio, la rutina que atrasó, la prisa que no nos permitió vivirnos, tenernos...
no quedó preguntar "qué pasa si me detengo, qué pasa si me pierdo, qué pasa si te tengo, qué pasa si me tienes?"
porque ya no me tienes.

Cosas que doy por ciertas
No
me gusta la política…Me apasionan los sonidos, escuchar como el universo me
habla… A veces me habla en melodía y otras en lluvia, o viento quizás.. Mi
religión es el café de mis mañanas, y en ocasiones las siestas que tomo
mientras plañen las gotas contra el concreto.
Las
letras me hacen suya más veces de las que puedo contar, la razón no me basta
para precisar cómo me tienen las palabras,
qué poder tienen sobre mi existencia. Le temo a la oscuridad pero no
porque la desconozca, sino por lo cómoda que se me hace. La serenidad que
consigo del absoluto vacío me es increíble. Puedo cerrar los ojos, quedarme
quieta en el centro de una habitación completamente a ciegas y no desesperar
buscando luz, porque la siento en ausencia.
Me
enamoro igual de rápido que me desilusiono.. Toma una buena conversación para
tener mi mente y puede que hasta una palabra para romperme el corazón.
Siempre
me he inclinado a pensar que la tragicomedia que es mi vida tendrá un final
feliz, y la posibilidad de que mi existencia pueda ser en vano me aterra… Ese
es mi miedo más grande; sufrir sin propósito..
