Last words
Silvia Plath (EEUU 1932-1963)

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
With tigery stripes, and a face on it
Round as the moon, to stare up.
I want to be looking at them when they come
Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots.
I see them already - the pale, star - distance faces.
Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.
I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.
They will wonder if I was important.
I should sugar and preserve my days like fruit !
My mirror is clouding over
A few more breaths, and it will reflect nothing at all.
The flowers and the faces whiten to a sheet.

I do not trust the spirit. It escapes like steam
In dreams, through mouth-hole or eye-hole. I can't stop it.
One day it won't come back. Things aren't like that.
They stay, their little particular lustres
Warmed by much handling. They almost purr.
When the soles of my feet grow cold,
The blue eye of my turquoise will comfort me.
Let me have my copper cooking pots, let my rouge pots
Bloom about me like night flowers, with a good smell.
They will roll me up in bandages, they will store my heart
Under my feet in a neat parcel.
I shall hardly know myself. It will be dark,
And the shine of these small things sweeter than the face of Ishtar.

Londoning

London was waiting for me. It is always fun being there. It is a lovely city, always alive and moving. I just missed a bit of clubbing (but maybe in a future trip there). I seriously recommend to visit London, but don't forget to bring your warmest clothes, you never know how the weather can be. And now, back home again, getting used to reality... snif!

REMATOU

Rematou o curso. Hoxe é a noite de San Xoán e eu estou aturando á meiga que levo dentro. Toca queimar todo o malo, e eu queimaría algúns dos libros cos que traballei este ano e algúns malos momentos. E se poidera tiznaríalle un pouco o ego a algún impresentable e lle botaría un caldeiro de auga ós seus fumes. En fin. Supoño que agora só queda desexar felices vacacións. Amén.

ART

We have an art exhibition at school. The topic is "A Thousand Years of Women Painters" and my students and I visited it. I explained them what was the meaning of what they were seeing and then I asked them to choose a painting and make a little research on it. I am starting to see the results of their work, and I have to tell you that they're quite positive.
Anyway, I'm happy because we could see Frida's paintings, Tamara de Lempicka's, etc. Let's see what happens next...

Carnival is over... :-(

This is a Galician version of the peculiar Simpson's family.... The funny thing is that Homer is the shortest one. Funny, isn't it?
We can also see Judit and Catherine as Maggies, both of them really lovely, although they are more beautiful dressed in casual clothes.
congratulations, girls!!

Travelling...

I like travelling. My trip to the south Galician coast was absolutely wonderful... lovely weather, beautiful landscape and the best partner.

Where is the fairy?

Don't waste your time looking for her. She is not going to appear for you. She is probably playing hide and seek with an elf... lucky her!
Enjoy the Eume!

Christmassssss

I hate Christmas. But I needed a rest. The last 3 months were quite hard for me, but I have to say that I have learned a lot from my students. And even from my mates... despite some of them should think about what they do and how they do it. How can we educate if we are rude and bad-mannered?
The Christmas party at school was fun, but exhausting. We could enjoy two theatre plays in English, and I have to say that the cast was excellent. I am very proud of them. They always came to the rehearsals very happy and motivated. They were very brave accepting this challenge. Thank you very much to all of them!
Happy Christmas!!

She is staring Paris from the Notre Dame cathedral. I just like it. She looks like being fed up with everything, but I think that she isn't.

Táctica y estrategia

Mi táctica es
mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos

mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible

mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos

mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos

no haya telón
ni abismos

mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple
mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites
