Exposition Text:

 

Richmond

 

Dear Dani,

 

 I extend these words of pain 2 years after your departure to Virginia.

The orange wood and the white stimulatory stone of nature shelter me

Taking a cheap whiskey from a golden car, with smoked glass

Thinking about the moment of reunion. The desire for your ornament.

 

The days become dense, I crawl down Avenida Colón, yearning to find you in surprise.

I open the door of the bars thinking that they are your room,

That I will find your jewels and your kisses

 

Reggo

 

I cannot stand it anymore.

 The hours become intense looking for your reflection in the mirror hearts

The anxiety of your ornament, of your warp, of your filament.

I need to stop Omar serves me the sixth coffee and recommends me to rest,

 

Arrive at our apartment to remain awake

 

What is a home without you?

 

Only the ghost marks of your missing furniture remain,

 

But your being Argentokitsch always present.

 

Real

 

There is a cable channel that hides behind the painting that adorns my sadness,

 

Inside contains the wires that power the tulips off

 

The only thing left for me to do is let the tea cool down.

 

But here I will continue.

 

Sign in the conviction that in only 4 days I will see you descend from this wooden ship

 

Entrenched in this corner, resting the sweet wait

 

With love,

 

 Elian
