Epigraphs
Why did you try to become a saint?
When the fog rolled in
Once upon a time
The few taxis on the rambla
Imagine you met me today
My mother was right
Tell me
The beginning is never the beginning
Who said that?
Mauro will be back at noon
So what if I leave?
Mauro had come back in a terrible mood
And what will you look for there?
The phone rang at seven in the morning
Ha ha ha
It wasn't unusual for us to wake up without power
Which sounds better
We all expected that the birds would meet the same fate as the fish
In the end
Days passed from one blackout to the next
A cloud is a cloud no matter how far it is from the ground
When I opened my eyes the next morning
That's impossible
A beat-up black car circled the plaza
Do you remember that day?
It took me over half an hour to reach the front desk
The serpent molts and is remade
I took the elevator upstairs
It would be like a museum
I can't remember the last time I saw her
If you're given a box full of air
I left the plazas behind me like distance markers along the avenue
Where are you?
The losses were greater than anticipated
Then
Two trees fell in the plaza and the wind howled all night
You're angry
A team of divers went into the river to investigate
I asked so little of you
I went out in the afternoon when the fog was at its most dense
Imagine you told me everything you thought
Actually
Explain it to me
Nothing is yours until someone else loses or discards it
What is silence?
That night I made rice with tuna and mayonnaise
Everything has an edge
I threw the doors to my bedroom closets open
Inside nothing
Trucks arrived and took everyone away
Can you imagine the space between your eyes?
In a kidney transplant
