El Primer Cerillo

Este blog se llama "Feast On Your Life". Se toma de un poema que se llama "Love After Love" de un poeta que hace años tuve el honor de conocer, Derek Walcott.

Love After Love

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Este poema es el primer cerrillo de muchos por venir. Se trata de volver al amor de tu vida, que es tu propio yo, el yo de tu más profundo corazón, ese extranjero que has abandonado y que llama por regresar. Tanta hambre tengo! Hambre de mi mismo, de lo que soy, de lo que puedo ser.
