Old Stones

22/11/2012 09:53
On the leaves of grass still covered with dew a glance looks to the rusty surface of the stone. Following up the porous granite skin striations to find an incontestable crack that splits two cyclopean blocks. The one vertically growing is interrupted by another tracing a different path. Rests...

Milan or X-ray of a memory (Updated)

21/11/2012 12:40
 …memories are life pieces teared from the void. Nothing ties them. Nothing anchors, nothing fixed. Virtually nothing ratifies them.                                              ...

Boston The Ubiquitous Rider

21/11/2012 10:56
Over all these years I’ve been in several prisons. Also in some of the most prestigious western universities: the Sorbonne, Cambridge, Berkeley. I must clarify that I have never overnight in any of them ... nor in any of the first. Once, visiting family in Boston I was even in Harvard. Walking the...

San Francisco

The great Enrico Caruso acted that night. He sang Don Jose in the representation of Bizet‘s Carmen in the Grand Opera House of San Francisco. I don’t want to set up wrong links, but about six hours later, on the April 18, 1906, morning, the city collapsed. Literally. The centre gave way and sank...

Havana and Cadiz: Twin Cities

15/10/2012 11:37
Havana and Cadiz seem rather more than twins, as they are reflected in a mirror called Atlantic. Some have said Cadiz is Havana but with a little bit more of gracefulness. Despite the age of the three times millenary tartessian Ghadir and the relative youth of San Cristóbal de la Habana, the...

La Habana y Cádiz: Dos Ciudades Gemelas

10/10/2012 08:45
  Más que ciudades hermanadas, La Habana y Cádiz parecen mellizas, cómo reflejadas en un espejo llamado Atlántico. Hay quién ha dicho que Cádiz es La Habana pero con más salero. A pesar de la antigüedad de una, el Gadir tartesio trimilenario y la relativa juventud de la Villa de San...

An Island in the Caribbean

10/10/2012 08:40
- Mi amol, cómo eres! De verdad que te quiero. Me gustas mi amol. The mulata was trying to unzip my pants. For every two buttons she succeeded to open I only managed to button again just one. She wanted to make it with me  and I - Einstein said that human stupidity knows no bounds - I...

A Caribbean Sweet Little History

26/09/2012 10:39
The bottom of a small glass, as those made for a short coffee with some drops of any good spirit, covered with red sugar cane unrefined. No more than a teaspoon. Add a slice of lime, preferably of those wonderful, small, less bitter, that grows up in the Caribbean. Slowly stirred in order to mix...

Una isla en el Caribe

26/09/2012 10:37
  - Mi amol, cómo eres! De verdad que te quiero. Me gustas mi amol. La mulata intentaba abrirme la bragueta. Por cada dos botones que conseguía desabrochar yo solamente atinaba a abotonarme uno. Insistía en hacerselo conmigo, y yo – Einstein ya decía que la estupidez humana no tiene...

Una dulce y pequeña historia del Caribe

19/09/2012 17:07
  El fondo de un vaso pequeño, cómo de los de carajillo, se cubre con azúcar rojo de caña, sin refinar. Algo así cómo una cucharadita de café. Se añade una rodaja de limón verde, a ser posible de aquellos pequeños, menos amargos, que provienen del Caribe. Se remueve lentamente con el...
