Las Afueras Prologo #6

"The process which I am conscious of when I perform is slightly different from everyone else's. Before I make any sounds, first of all I breathe in all the air in the performing space. Most performers feed off the audience, but I'm conscious of entering into a relationship with the actual air in the place, even before the audience has arrived. After breathing in all the air, when I breathe out again I want to engulf the audience in that air. And then on top of that, I want to return the air to its original state again." 

 Keiji Haino

Las Afueras Prologo #5

"Telle est cette crispation du langage que parfois l'on confond 

avec la verité de son ordre profond. Ainsi pouvons-nous

croire que l'alexandrin n'est qu'un vers de douze pieds qui

balance une rime; mais son vrai sens est au-dela de son nom-

bre ou des vocalises de sa syllabe finale. Quand on fait de la 

matiere de l'alexandrin (douze pieds, une rime) la mesure de

ce vers, alors on le trahit. Et voici le cours de mon propros:

trouver la juste mesure de mon chaos primordial. En quoi

j'échouai sans cesse, pour avoir confondu la regle organique

vers laquelle je tends, avec un ralentissement ou un empaille-

ment glacés. (Oui, je l'engage ici, la poésie: qu'elle m'accorde

la signification de mon langage, pour temoigner de la signifi-

cation de mon histoire. Qu'elle acomplisse par moi son travail,

pour illustrer para elle le travail de ma conscience me saisis-

sant). Hiver. tu glaces la voix C'est pourquoi je cherche encore, 

grâces te soient rendues, la diction claire de ce rythme, un sa-

voir-vivre."

(Eduard Glissant) via Dominique

Las Afueras Prologo #1

tomar una casa no es tan fácil como lo pretende la libertad
inferida del gesto insaciable y egoísta
implícito en el verbo “tomar”. (WTF?!)

que es mío? porque es mío? cuando deja de serlo? cuando es
que empezó siéndolo?

tomar una decisión.
tomar la mano de alguien
tomar conciencia
tomar en cuenta
tomar el poder (si es que lo quieres)
tomar el sarpe*

algunos etimólogos proponen que la palabra “tomar” viene
del latin autumare (afirmar, creer), otros del aestimare
(estimar), otros del griego tomus (sección, división).

en todo caso, “tomar” sugiere una acción que tiene como
propósito dividir y seccionar, luego estimar y afirmar para
terminar creyendo…la euforia de un mezquino sentimiento
acumulador. (WTF?!)

como dice el poema: “…la vida es demasiado corta para
vivirla en instantes.”

Place both vinegars in a separate medium saucepan and cook until reduced by 1/2. Add the sugar and mango puree, and reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon thickly.

Las Afueras Prologo #3

 "You tell me that silence
 is nearer to peace than poems
 but if for my gift
 I brought you silence
 (for I know silence)
 you would say
    "This is not silence
 this is another poem"
 and you would hand it back to me."

Leonard Cohen


Hoy, buscando otras cosas, me topé con eso. Me encantó. Pienso que puede ser parte del  pro -yecto de alguna forma.
Nunca nadie queda conforme con un intento. Por eso seguimos, sin darnos cuenta que todos son intentos.

La finalidad es una alucinación, un deseo, fe. Y como todas esas cosas, son fabricaciones de una mente intranquila, de un cuerpo débil, humano.
Entender que todos son intentos, pero distintas partes del intento general y tan propio de vivir, seria aceptar responsabilidad.

Y eso, odiamos.
Tememos.

blablabla
