29 giugno Tres más dos son mil.Odias el mar porque sabe demasiado, porque no sabe olvidar. Porque, dices, nadie ha visto su sonrisa, porque acoje en sus tripas millones de ayeres y maderas. Odias su aliento porque habla de vida y cementerios. Odias su música porque no acaba, porque no puedes imitarla. Quieres ser el mar porque nunca pierde, porque, dices, no hay nada más vivo. C.D.G.
Llené el vaso cuando se vació mi casa. Mi cabeza era una duna y los tragos me llevaron al balcón. Abajo todo era tan de mentira como mis certezas. La noche rasgaba los pasos de otros borrachos, las aristas de esas risas fotocopiadas. El calor abrazaba el descaro que da la inconsciencia. Y el vaso ya sudaba en mis manos. Di la espalda a la espalda de aquel día tumbándome en un nido de oraciones resentidas. Y se me olvidó soñar.

14 giugno MY BACK PAGES.Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Romantic facts of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, though, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. 09 giugno Un rato con Tom, un trago con Waits.Got no time for the corner boys, down in the street makin all that noise,
Dont want no whores on eighth avenue, cause tonight Im gonna be with you. Cause tonight Im gonna take that ride, across the river to the jersey side, Take my baby to the carnival, and Ill take you on all the rides, sing sha la La la la la sha la la la. Down the shore everythings alright, you with your baby on a saturday night, Dont you know that all my dreams come true, when Im walkin down the street With you, sing sha la la la la la sha la la la. You know she thrills me with all her charms, when Im wrapped up in my Babys arms, my little angel gives me everything, I know someday that shell Wear my ring. So dont bother me cause I got no time, Im on my way to see that girl of Mine, nothin else matters in this whole wide world, when youre in love with A jersey girl, sing sha la la la la la la. And I call your name, I cant sleep at night, sha la la la la la la. Jersey Girl by Tom Waits Album: Heart Attack And Vine Released: 1980 Rain Dogs(Big Time live version, 1988) Inside a broken clock, splash the wine with all the rain dogs I know how we danced and we swallowed the night I know how we danced and we swallowed the night Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee(4) Written by: Tom Waits |
