That rise
From sidewalks
In pouring rain,
All past voices
That rebuked
My youth
Return again
As lines of rain
Weave a tapestry
Of pain.
In glimmering darkness
Alleys are crackling
Crumpled cellophane
And watery wraiths
Haunt doorways
Down the lane;
And I still suffer your pain—
A bitter ache
No kind memory
Can anesthetize
With benzocaine,
Though I wish it could.
The house broods
Filled with shadows
As rain trails darken
The already gloomy afternoon
I recall your moods
Silent and distant
As storms of Venus…
Yet I still cherish each one.
La memoria es esa caja que se abre, a veces sin darnos cuenta, y nos muestra todo lo guardado. A veces esos recuerdos llegan, estimulados por un estado, un olor, una palabra. Y nos empapan como lluvia! y volvemos a ese pasado guardado, a veces con añoranza, otras veces con tristeza. Yo siempre recuerdo una novela llamada El desbarrancadero de Fernando Vallejo cuando uno de los personajes dice que el pasado es un cadáver que hay que enterrar prontico o uno se pudre en vida con él. Pero cómo hacemos para olvidar tantos recuerdos si esos recuerdos son parte de uno? Especialmente aquellos que tienen que ver con la casa primigenia, con los padres, con nuestra forma de ser. Solo la memoria hace que volvamos a ser, por un instante, lo que fuimos, lo que sentimos. Así como el poema de ayer lo guardabas para ti, hoy guardaré este para mí. Un abrazo, @Johnjgeddes

Siempre haces comentarios tan perspicaces. mi amigo. Mi primera novela trataba de la memoria y la identidad, somos nuestro pasado, si los seres humanos tienen una esencia, es nuestro pasado, esa es la única parte de nosotros que es inmutable, todo lo demás está sujeto a cambios.

No, I can avoid remembering my father with this poem. I have heard that poetry does not belong to whoever writes it but who needs it, it is true, and it seems that my spirit required it.
