You’re stuck in the south city screaming, under tables and washed out bloom, talking with your grandma’, cooking together, learning new recipes, dancing old tunes. You could understand, you can understand and feel so damn pure on a minute exploding laugh. It will keep death inside a word and time will confuse itself by spoonfuls full of sugar with good war memories. Uh. Walk along the streets, save yourself from the afternoon television spreading pills into buses, casinos and laundries, still dancing. Your arms in my hands. You can run away. You could run away. You could tell us that everything can happen. That everything can happen. Uh. You can already say, you could already say that anything can happen. You’re sitting now in the same kitchen and there’s no one to talk with but you keep laughing about anything.

Avocado 08:59
Mud holds my right frozen foot. Reading the famous Vietnam Hot Noodles Magazine about protocol and civilization. I ate my last avocado. There are no books in this house. I could switch down on the sofa. Rest in chaos on the lights, being touched by four invisible hands. But I trust in your eyelashes kissing mine. The bliss of your out of focus smile with funny toes under a thousand hotel beds. Bye to the oldest tale you’ve heard, to your dearest job partners, to a number of numbers. Complain sinking on their hearts. We don’t understand the horizon, but we have known to keep inside his calm. The storm comes back, the edge lies in happiness. I’ll be drinking tea again, the howl is in the air holding our invisible hands.

1942-1944 07:26
From 1919 to 1941, he used his hands to dig, lived with three old men till his 15th birthday. With a single 21 years blonde grandma, he stole markets and bridges. His deepest dream was to write for the army. She always said he talked too much about questions like how can we make fire with bloom or how ants come to eat bread to your hand. They pretended electricity, sickness and movement. Travelled around themselves. They went to school together. In 1945, she started to listen his stomach noise; he learnt how to sit without hands. From 1946 to 1952, they vanished. One year later, she is approaching her knees on my face, her gun too. He brings her a rope and a fork. Every Tuesday they try to kill me, we spend two hours speaking about fear and they move on bright and breezy. In 1955, they will found a school and die together, looking at their first light bulb at home. They will know nothing about passion.

about

“…knowing in yourself that something else is about to happen when he sings and moves, and it certainly is that dance, that perfect fit, that psychic-plastic crystallization of sound in constant action and what is just about to happen. Do you remember that Michelangelo story, sitting for hours in Carrara, watching the workers who were shedding large blocks of marble as he figured what exactly each block contained and what exactly he should extract from them? Well, when I want to explain to someone what you do in Seward, I put in my hand a similar idea and tell them that every member of the band, each instrument is placing noises, distortions, pure material on the table, and then, with no other process than the audience’s own trance, you start working on miracles with that music, without bindings but with formal lines, loose notes; as a sample of what to do with noise (and silence, of course, because the raw material flows between them) in a state of grace. And that voice… Deeply broken, embodying all that wood, guts and torn metal. Truly wonderful. With all the things happening in the world today, I say that Seward would be like a thread of action, some kind of flag for human possibilities, broken into a thousand things to raise up a life collapsed for the lack of hearing and the total clumsiness. Do you remember Schulz’s speech on poetics? How the homes of the men were made of remnants of the images of the archetypes? Something like that, but now, recovering them in a present dimension”

Marco Rodríguez, Enero, 2010.
