It is the path of my life through poetry. Nothing was more difficult for me than writing about my life. For the steps, that took me from one book to another. For the events that defined me, for the pain. Poetry has always been the raw building material of my novels.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

And when you find it
\nAnd when you meet it<\/p>\n

Little child speechless
\nGive it a drop of my blood
\nTo make it a vow
\nTo not go and drink from forgetfulness
\nDon't, from the water of oblivion
\nTo turn it into anchor
\nIn this bottomless passage<\/p>\n

I told myself not to write to it again
\nSo little it departed
\nNot to be burdened by tears
\nNot to be frightened by the abyss - where
\nI drag the echo
\nfrom the stones I threw
\nTo fill it
\nFor years the echo of the abyss
\nIt doesn't end
\nAs if I use a buckett to pull it
\nWith a rope that creaks
\nBut the tears are heavy
\nAnd they drag it down<\/p>\n

Only the echo of the abyss Oh oh oh
\nThe same lullaby<\/p>\n

Oh, the absence my Mother
\nRose like a storm
\nLike clothes mourning for the body
\nAnd the waters sparkle
\nAs if the dead is touching them
\nAs if the soul is wandering
\nBeing denied of the spring<\/p>\n

Tell the child
\nNot to be fooled and rest his head on oblivion
\nBetter to rest on stone
\nto the echo of wilderness
\nBetter on my sleep's speechless cracks
\nSleep is a plane of life, tell the child
\nTo remember<\/p>\n

*********************<\/p>\n

SIXTH PASSAGE<\/em>
\nThe Agony of Transparency<\/em><\/p>\n

And time falls off me in pieces
\nUnfastening the flesh
\nPerfumed once<\/p>\n

My sleep full of fissures
\nLike old clothes
\nIlluminates the dreams
\nAnd pushes me continually toward the inner side—where
\nSilence, solid,
\nStirs, bottomless
\nI am afraid, I say
\nI fix my eyes wide-open
\nIn sleep, a living man is in contact with the dead, he said<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I can no longer hide in sleep
\nI am transparent
\nAnd my dreams flow from the flesh
\nFull of expropriated paradises
\nI shine
\nLike used time
\nEroded by my tears — one
\nGood Friday
\nAs they were taking my soul down from the Cross
\nAnd night broke
\nA solitary rose
\nLike the child that went away
\nNaked
\nTo its upper world
\nAnd my body filled with stars.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

One Good Friday
\nI saw light flowing from the wound
\nAnd the naked child upon the Cross
\nEvangelizing the world<\/p>\n

I am the mother of the Crucifixion, I
\nAnd my eyes, full of blood
\nSeek the light<\/p>\n

I am the mother of the bitter parting
\nAnd my hands, wounds,
\nIlluminate all the mystic passages
\nThat I may find you
\nIn your upper world<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

One Good Friday
\nI slept upon the Cross
\nAnd my sleep filled with heavens
\nImmobilized
\nMy blood flows azure lilies since then
\nAnd the abyss nestled in the wound
\nLiberates the myrrh
\nThe abyss, solid
\nLike pagan amber
\nDissolves the brilliance
\nTo liberate my flesh<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I saw the blood flow in the streets
\nSweeping away the child’s eyes
\nI stood amidst the crowd
\nA desert
\nMy hands still being interred
\nAnd a smell of Chaos covered
\nThe perfumed corpse.<\/p>\n
