Pretexto de lugar<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

La piedra y la naranja, <\/span><\/span>
\nsu contig\u00fcidad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La roca y el pistilo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Entre ambos <\/span><\/span>
\nla celos\u00eda de un vitral: <\/span><\/span>
\nracimo de contrastes, <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0antinomias.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El siempre y el ahora traslap\u00e1ndose <\/span><\/span>
\nen la longevidad <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 y lo <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0caduco,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

aspereza inmune, <\/span><\/span>
\nsuavidad <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0de la cascara.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lo eterno y lo perecedero <\/span><\/span>
\ndesmarcan de este modo sus dominios, <\/span><\/span>
\nel pedregal y el huerto, <\/span><\/span>
\nla piel junto al cascajo,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

el parto y la convalecencia <\/span><\/span>
\nen un mismo pasillo de hospital.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Entre permanecer y doblegarse, <\/span><\/span>
\nentre estar llegando y estar y\u00e9ndose <\/span><\/span>
\nuna sola pared <\/span><\/span>
\ny dos habitaciones,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

la cuenta regresiva.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tratado de la sed<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

La vida pasada es parte <\/span><\/span>
\nde la muerte advenidera; <\/span><\/span>
\nes pasado por este arte <\/span><\/span>
\nlo que por venir se espera; <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00bfQui\u00e9n muere antes que muera? <\/span><\/span><\/em>
\nJuan de Mena<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pensar en lo que a\u00fan no ha sucedido <\/span><\/span>
\nes pensar lo imposible.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lo que no es no ser\u00e1 <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 o ser\u00e1 <\/span><\/span>
\nen otro tiempo <\/span><\/span>
\nque no es <\/span><\/span>
\nhoy, <\/span><\/span>
\neste presente romo de conjuros <\/span><\/span>
\npara desviar la acequia de la historia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

S\u00f3lo la nada es garant\u00eda <\/span><\/span>
\no todo se mantiene <\/span><\/span>
\ntal cual era.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Encierras en la mano tres monedas <\/span><\/span>
\ny abri\u00e9ndola de nuevo <\/span><\/span>
\nest\u00e1n las tres monedas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Todo se posterga. <\/span>Todo <\/span><\/span>
\nest\u00e1 invariablemente <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 acechando <\/span><\/span>
\nla mejor coyuntura, <\/span><\/span>
\nla mejor juntura de caminos <\/span><\/span>
\nen el doblez exacto.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Y nos apaciguamos con el gusto <\/span><\/span>
\nde anticipar el sesgo <\/span><\/span>
\nde los hechos, <\/span><\/span>
\ncon el supuesto de que las promesas <\/span><\/span>
\ncontienen ya <\/span><\/span>
\nun futuro.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Y alargamos el d\u00e9ficit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Y as\u00ed vamos regando <\/span><\/span>
\nlos pron\u00f3sticos de la falta <\/span><\/span>
\ncon gotas de sequ\u00eda.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cada quien planta a diario la semilla <\/span><\/span>
\nde quien sabe que fruto.\f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cruzar los dedos<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Necesitas un milagro.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Que lo que esperas <\/span><\/span>
\nse haga en ti <\/span><\/span>
\ncon la aglomeraci\u00f3n de la carencia, <\/span><\/span>
\ncon la rotundidad <\/span><\/span>
\nde lo que no tienes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Que al trozo de cantera <\/span><\/span>
\nle broten alas, <\/span><\/span>
\nque vuele <\/span><\/span>
\ny regrese <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 al hueco <\/span><\/span>
\nde tu asombro sin cura.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Si la suerte ha sido echada <\/span><\/span>
\ntodo puede ocurrir, <\/span><\/span>
\nsi la moneda a\u00fan no toca el suelo <\/span><\/span>
\ny en su ca\u00edda libre <\/span><\/span>
\nsigue irradiando probabilidad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEl golpe avisa\u201d <\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2014solemos decir. <\/span><\/span>
\nEl tumbo, la primicia, los pespuntes, <\/span><\/span>
\nsignos de vida o muerte <\/span><\/span>
\npara una conclusi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mientras no sepas algo <\/span><\/span>
\ntuyo es lo posible, tuya <\/span><\/span>
\nentra <\/span><\/span>
\nla impronta <\/span><\/span>
\ndel fracaso y el tino.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Todo pron\u00f3stico est\u00e1 por cumplirse <\/span><\/span>
\na gastos de la incertidumbre.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
