Olho para a sequência de imagens que passam no espelho à minha frente. Espero. Passa tempo suficiente para o ácido surtir efeito. Coloco a mão no botão. Mas, não abro o recipiente. Paro e olho. Não me olho naquele espelho. Olho para o reflexo do que existe atrás de mim. Na pequena sala, que eu habito diariamente por algumas horas, vejo pessoas. Iguais. Respiram em cores diferentes. Penso na bola. Muitas personagens. Vários palcos. Tantas coreografias. O nome, o conceito... perfeito. Sorrio. Lembro-me da palavra mirabolante. Abro a tampa e deixo que o vapor embacie o vidro.
"Surrealism is the magical surprise upon finding a lion in the closet where one wanted to get a shirt" - Frida Kahlo

Little instants VI
She felt pressure between her eyes. It had become almost blinding, the search for the exact moment an image would change the direction of her pencil. The moment, a word would become a vision. D-E-C-A-D-E-N-C-E. She can recall: when words became silence... when eyes spoke. A bit of hurt. Music transporting life, transporting decadence in shades of grey. Grey, tone 18.
She likes it there... can I stay?

Cabinet de merveille I
Ele colocava meticulosamente os pequenos objectos, num espaço ainda livre existente na pequena sala. Gesticulava para que ela não encostasse o nariz numa vitrina. Nada surpreendida com a sua exigência, colocou de imediato as suas pequenas mãos atrás das costas, tal como ele lhe tinha ensinado. Silenciosa, aguardava ansiosamente o momento em que ele a deixaria abrir aquela caixa. A que ficava guardada no canto e tinha um aspecto muito, mesmo muito antigo. Imaginava que tinha vindo dum país longínquo, daqueles que são inventados para os contos de fadas...
Sempre que a abria, esvaziava-a e imaginava o que lá guardaria quando fosse sua. "É tua" disse ele. Com os dedos trémulos, agarrou na caixa, retirou-lhe o conteúdo devagar e com todo o cuidado. Sorriu e disse: "Obrigado". Com passo apressado, não fosse ele mudar de ideias, saiu para a rua em direcção à casa. Pelo caminho, ainda o ouviu gritar: "Hey! não me disseste o que vais guardar lá dentro?" Respondeu em sussurro: " Segredos e dragões paizinho, segredos e dragões..."
Nevava.

Rainbow world...
Há blogs coloridos, giros, bonitos, simpáticos, novos e em reconstrução. Há outros que contêm segredos. Ainda outros com mares de palavras e imagens que voltam com a lua nova. Uns que deixam saudades, tantas… Posts, que me fazem sorrir e depois há os que me fazem rir a bandeiras despregadas!
* ...e ainda bem. Thanks.

By starlight and goodnight
I meat a red fox at the edge of town one night. He said, Jesus is the answer. I wondered what was the question.
He teased so I’d follow. And I did as he ran. Luwerd me into an area of two square meters. Welcome to nowhere, fast. Welcome to the City of Saints he proclamed.
People glared in chaotic rush. As he gave birth to meaningless sounds. The drum took place of my heart beat, and I thought of the thief that stole my senses… and the indescribable moments of my life.
Despite my rage, I’m only just a cat locked up in a cage, I told this Fox.
He replied, the door is always open here. Feel free to come and go as you please. Be what you want to be, who you want to be… Mary, Dorothy, be Indya, no, be Vivianne.
I stared eyes wide open, and saw how he stole the pulse of the loners. How their life became his, for moments, for a few hours. Mesmerized. Hipnotized. The crowd had no way to disconnect. Steal me now, I pleaded. Keep me in your jail, before I run out of sound. Before... I run out of time. Sing me more songs. A new one just for me.
Instead there were two, amazing all ears and souls. It soon would be opening time, the sun would be out and up again… no one would leave. Humor us before we have to go, speak to us in a language we can hear.
He gave in and declared only one more dance.
I just want to see you dance... I heard him whisper as I left. I walked down what seemed an empty street and looked back. I saw his shadow like of someone so hard to find.
When I stopped breathing in the arms of sleep, I dreamt of this journey. I opened my eyes and I swear I saw this red fox unlock my cage door…
*perfect concert!

Snap Shot II
Ao fundo, céu e mar cinzento. Areia, cinzenta. Muro, cinzento. Árvore cinzenta, também. Só o sol e as vestes são laranja claro. Lenço esvoaçante. Olhar perdido... cinzento.

A senhora parecia morta. Dormia profundamente... O livro aberto em cima da barriga saliente. O titulo: "Long way gone"
