THE REVIEW

Awakened by deceptive desire, I woke with a start that night, sinful intoxication tickled my feet and woke me, swiftly dissolving in the blue morning air. I spent the dawn hour lying on a cloth mat, staring at the ceiling, lying down, dreaming, and accompanied by songs of sirens and distant echoes. Sensual insidious serpent, the voice of an eternal unyielding promise, crept into my ears, seeking to caress the soul. Righteousness, however, made sure I did not fall into the perfidious clutches of she who sings from the plateau and the Rio Grande. Temptress with straw hats and leather boots, a sign of lands and generations of dust and hay. Enchantress! Never expressed in its splendid grayness, even the great Dylan succumbed before such perceived talent, before such cantorial femininity and ample, sensual vocality. Intimate that morning as if a truth was revealed, whispered softly, gently, in the ear. Elegant feelings and latent insights lost in harmonious round classical tunes never trite, persuade even the most uncertain soul of the goodness of that moment, of that unrepeatable instant for the few other stages of an otherwise graceful career.
Her circles remain to traverse kilometers and clouds to drench bicycle rides... love, if it moved, would run on two wheels, “Lance, wait for me!”… “Eh, but he travels at 50 per hour and even without an engine!”
Here unveiled the mystery, poor infatuated and rustic odalisque, she was given the car, the combustion engine and not the horse, nor the velocipede, the light and fleeting poetry of nature was taken, stolen from her, defenseless, she was soon handed over to the greedy hands of pirates, who led her with them on the routes of perdition, towards the treasure island, towards the firm land…

They steal flowers in gardens even before they bloom.
