Oblivion is the entelechy of those who want to erase the past, convinced that time can be palpated or taken to give it the shape it wants.

It is an unusual desire that tries to erase the darkness with flashes of flashing and ephemeral lights and only manages, like a hare before the sudden light, to be dazzled and paralyzed.

Oblivion is the delirium of the chimeric, who after falling before the whirlwind of abandonment tries to be amnesic, executioner of nostalgia, Cain of pain, not to relive what he has suffered.

He is an omnipresent demon that in fierce struggle hits the walls of memory, falling down defeated, like Achilles in Troy, before the sensations that leave what has been lived.

Oblivion is a lamp that feeds on the energy of lies, that moves with eagerness, like a wave that kisses the shore, looking for unknown paths to replace those of resignation.

It is a dream conquered by nightmares, a sailor's promise, a snake that poisons the blood and mercilessly scourges the hopes they had.

It is an eternal pretending to recycle, a cyclical story that has not been written or has been made with alternate ends.

Forgetfulness does not exist, because it is impossible to erase from our lives what we did and were done to us, which brought our ship to the port where today we merge, transforming ourselves into a mixture of past, present and future.
