Fragments about Photography


I knew instantly
that you are a devil in the horoscope,
because I read from the eyes.
you write for illiterates.
you think that nobody expects an answer.
a fat man
took for a walk
a pair of beautiful eyes:
is she a woman?
is she a child?
she darts, like wild-fire, all the way to your bones.
you cover your body.
eyes denude everything.
to whom your solitude belongs,
you ask while I brutally exterminate
a fat piece of chocolate
moaning,
sighing,
it is always like this when I am happy!
I crave ice all over my body.
there is snow in the Andes,
and I adore winter:
out of its precision
my best girl friends appear.
you do not have to talk about solitude with them.
with them you do not have to do anything.
