On the Aesthetics of Forgetfulness (or how it sums up after a 3rd Margarita)

On the Aesthetics of Forgetfulness
(or how it sums up after a 3rd Margarita)

The wall stood
proud and silent as a stone
coherent
in time

As far as I know it was there
layer with layer, holding the strength
of history and morphology – trees
and earth bathing each other
moving slowly as
lovers -
since the beginning

and we drank
their geometry, a wise structure performing
angularities

Then, one day, a part of the wall
came down

As I lick the junction between
the nail of my
ring finger
and
the tiny fleshless band
at its base
waiting for skin
to grow

rebuilding memory patterns

I realize the gap
has been replaced with
hideous
cement blocks
