The town says things
and it says much more on those rainy days
when it unleashes his anachronisms
his melancholies and his silent sadnesses...

El pueblo dice cosas
y dice mucho más en esos días de lluvia
cuando desata sus anacronismos
sus melancolías y sus tristezas silentes...

I am a damned writer of illusions, an inventor of ephemeral events. Sometimes, in the midst of my delusions, I have the sensation of waking up, going out into the streets and giving form to everything that is around me, using only my thoughts... Memories attack me, harass me and whisper absurd explanations in my ear, as if they wanted to explain why I'm here doing this... They are memories which I presumed buried, but no, they return, bursting in front of me like living sentences...

Soy un condenado escribidor de ilusiones, un inventor de sucesos efímeros. A veces, en medio de mis delirios, tengo la sensación de despertarme, salir a las calles y dar forma a todo lo que está alrededor usando únicamente mi pensamiento... Los recuerdos me atacan, me acosan y me susurran al oído explicaciones absurdas, como si quisiesen explicarme porqué estoy aquí haciendo esto... Son recuerdos los cuales presumía sepultados, pero no, ellos retornan estallan frente a mi como sentencias vivas...

"Darius the sad" / "Darío el triste"


The town says things
when its streets
are dotted with wounds
and a parsimonious wind
sways the unnecessary mist
of yesteryear's pains
as if May came
to want to kill us...

El pueblo dice cosas
cuando sus calles
se salpican con heridas
y un viento parsimonioso
mece el vaho innecesario
de los dolores de antier
como si Mayo viniese
a querer matarnos...

"Even the bird wanted to be silent" / "Hasta el ave quiso callar"

I was never good at this joyful stuff; even as a child I got bored after a while... That's why I have grey memories, because I myself took away the colour and the noises to paint them with taciturn hours looking at my spirit... One day, many years ago now, too many I would say; I was looking through the window of a plane in flight at the firmament dotted with pristine white clouds... Then I said to myself: It's too beautiful, ‘I don't want it’...

Nunca fui bueno para eso de las alegrías; incluso de niño llegaban a aburrirme después de un tiempo... Por eso tengo recuerdos grises, porque yo mismo les arrebaté el color y los ruidos para pintarlos de taciturnas horas mirando mi espíritu... Un día, hace ya muchos años, demasiados diría yo; miraba a través de la ventanilla de un avión en vuelo el firmamento salpicado nubes prístinas y blancas... Entonces me dije: Es demasiado hermoso, "no lo quiero"...

"Disorder warning" / "Aviso de desorden"

My father, a cheerful, giant, strong man, full of smiles and fantastic lights, would say: "You are the strangest guy I ever met in my life" (he said this a week before he died, I remember it perfectly).

Mi padre, un hombre alegre, gigantesco, fuerte y repleto de sonrisas y de luces fantásticas, diría: "Eres el tipo más extraño que conocí en mi vida" (lo dijo una semana antes de morir, lo recuerdo perfectamente).

Strange is good. Strange is outside the box.

I put them in the house where they came from when I was close to them!... They are a very adventurous pair of puppies, but they will be fine! :) Thank you for appreciating my photos!... ;)
