There are some perks to living in a warzone...

I take a step back ... I stagger.
2:45 AM
There is no pain at this moment
only the tormented silence of this vast space,
of this misunderstood loneliness.
There will be no more sunrises in our lives ...
Just like the chimeras that we desire,
and like the afflictions we hate
were born from what's dead of our souls.
Dead are our hearts,
incinerated by the flames they once loved!
The earth will kiss our bodies
welcoming our last breaths ...
Only in this moment that we hold on
can we recognize our past.
A feeling floats in the morning haze ...
For an instant its shape is recognizable ...
And between the coldness of our bodies without passion,
fades and dies.
For the agony of not being animals
our hand can take the initiative
and trace a strip of suns
where fear is greater than our hopelessness.
A gag on the soul
a knot in the throat and ...
Only the clouds that contemplate us
can know the dark of our history.
The breeze carries our laments
more in the depths of our emptiness
something urges us not to give up yet.
Today the black storm clouds
will not be a promise of life,
and lost childhoods will not be restored.
On the precipice of our abandonment
nor the thick forest of yesteryear
nor the cold current of the years
may prevent our last blind step ...
Our body shudders against something infinite,
something that does not listen to explanations.
I can see the waves hitting the rocks!
I take a step back ... I stagger.
The pounding of the waves is so vigorous ...
A strange calm invades me ...
Where fear and anguish abounded
now the white foam highlights everything;
where hatred and insecurity lived,
now the breeze softens everything ...
Only the rays of the Sun, which give us life
can know the beauty of our death.
For Miguel Ángel Villegas,
with love, from his father.

The authentic details of the extraordinary suicide of Miss Moyes
Upon examination of the body, it was found that the spine was fractured as also the back of the cranium, but the features are in no way disfigured, save by the appearance of coagulated blood forced from the nostrils, eyes, and mouth by the sudden concussion; the left arm is severed just above the elbow, and is only retained in its place by the integuments and the sleeve of the dress. (LT, 12 Sep. 1839, p. 435, col. 4)
Her left arm, near the shoulder, came in contact with the bar, and was so violently severed that the part cut off flew over the iron railings several yards into the square. After striking the bar, the body fell an a tub containing a lilac plant, which it broke in pieces, as well as several flower pots, placed on the right side of the door. Not a sign of life, except some contortions of the muscles of the legs and arms, was discernible on the body when it was picked up. (Observer, 15 Sep. 1839, p.1 col. 6)

Interior
It sheds a shy solemnity,
This lamp in our poor room.
O grey and gold amenity,--
Silence and gentle gloom!
Wide from the world, a stolen hour
We claim, and none may know
How love blooms like a tardy flower
Here in the day's after-glow.
And even should the world break in
With jealous threat and guile,
The world, at last, must bow and win
Our pity and a smile.
1926
The legend tells that:
At noon on April 26, 1932 Hart Crane yelled, "Goodbye everyone," and jumped off the deck of the S. S. Orizaba to voluntarily submit to death in some undetermined point off the Florida coast.
In this way he put the end to the most heartbreaking of his texts his own life.

Slipping through Time
by Marina Tsvetaeva
Perhaps the finest victory
over time and gravity
is to pass without leaving a trace,
casting not even a shadow on the wall.
Perhaps it's best to renounce it all,
erase your image from the mirror
and steal by like Lermontov in the Caucasus
without upsetting the stones.
Maybe it would be more entertaining
had Bach's finger never prodded the organ's echo
Maybe if you simply dissolved
and left no ashes for the urn.
If you lied your way out
and were expunged from the latitudes
slipping through time like an ocean
whose waters were never disturbed.
