Poema para los desmemoriados y pierdelotodo


(Art of losing, de Sarah Sze)

Soy una devota de Jacinta Escudos. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinta_Escudos, http://www.geocities.com/jescudos/. Trato religiosamente de husmear su blog para enterarme sobre sus proyectos narrativos, su gata, qué está leyendo, oyendo o viendo.
Este día me encontré con una fascinante entrada que huele a San Salvador. Pero me cautivó más un poema posteado (que me va anillo al dedo con mi indolente desmemoria y vocación de pierdelotodo). Acá lo comparto.


One Art
by Elizabeth Bishop


The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.


--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

Howdy are using Wordpress for your site platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to

You could certainly see your enthusiasm in the work you write.
The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you
who aren't afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart.
