| Bio: | Past Pablo Neruda We have to discard the past and, as one builds floor by floor, window by window, and the building rises, so do we keep shedding first, broken tiles, then pompous doors, until out of the past dust rises as if to crash against the floor, smoke rises as if to catch fire, and each new day it gleams like an empty plate. There is nothing, there is always nothing. It has to be filled with a new, fruitful space, then downward tumbles yesterday as in a well falls yesterday's water, into the cistern of all still without voice or fire. It is difficult to teach bones to disappear, to teach eyes to close but we do it unrealizing. It was all alive, alive, alive, alive like a scarlet fish but time passed over its dark cloth and the flash of the fish drowned and disappeared. Water water water the past goes on falling still a tangle of bones and of roots; it has been, it has been, and now memories mean nothing. Now the heavy eyelid covers the light of the eye and what was once living now no longer lives; what we were, we are not. And with words, although the letters still have transparency and sound, they change, and the mouth changes; the same mouth is now another mouth; they change, lips, skin, circulation; another being has occupied our skeleton; what once was in us now is not. It has gone, but if they call, we reply; "I am here," knowing we are not, that what once was, was and is lost, is lost in the past, and now will not return. | |||||
