Creamos nuestra propia corriente en este armazón, del que colgamos navegamos, jugamos vivimos y marcamos si somos lo suficientemente pesados pesados tal vez lo rompamos. Algún día, espero que lo rom-
pamos. Pero, y luego que? Regados y sin forma? Solo la historia impresa en nuestros cuerpos… Al endurecer, las cicatrices dictan nuestra dirección. Nuestro pasado nos hace torcer y retorcer. El agua deshace, el fuego forma, la suficiente fuerza para sobrevivir en las capas que cuentan la historia de la
Lineas nos definen, Lineas nos organizan, Lineas nos dividen. Es inútil entender, la linea aún pegada a la mano que la dibujó. Imposible de trazar, Se la ve recorrer hacia atrás y al infinito. Desaparece. Borrosa hacia el final fina, casi indistinguible. Nadie cruza entre un lado y el otro Todo pasa en la mitad. We create our own flow within this structure, from which we hang we navigate, we play, we chill, we mark and If we are heavy enough we might break it. Someday, I hope we do. But, then what? Spilled and formless? With only history printed in our bodies… Just as we harden, Scars dictate our direction. Our past twists and turn us. Water melts, fire forms. Strong enough to survive history, We join the layers that tell the story of the earth. Lines that define us, Lines that organize us, Lines that divide us. It is useless to understand, line still bounded to the hand that drew it. Impossible to trace, It keeps going back till infinity. It disappears. It blurs at the end, thin, almost indistinguishable, No one ever crosses from one side to the other; Everything happens in the in-between
