I hadn't come to the hospital since the last overdose of a friend that shooted whisky in his veins, in the bathroom of an old bar because of a heartbreak. I told the nurse to don't leave me, to be with me the whole time and that if she could light a cigarette for me, sure honey take a smoke, she said and rubbed my head softly like if my dreams where cotton pieces. The body. The night. The blood. Inside my body an invisible, warm hand was digging and took chunks of light and silence. A black hole was opening up through my bones and was filling them with blood and noise. Later a doctor came in and told me that the business was serious, told me to stay still, and asked me what was my blood group, I told him that I knew a little about blood groups, that if he wanted I could talk to him about rock groups, a little bit of Jimi Hendrix Experience, of Cream. No way, the business is serious, sayed the doctor, so I looked at the nurse and I wanted to be with her in a party dancing Spend The Night Together, I wanted to be with a glass of *****, I wanted to give her a kiss in the middle of her white teeth, I wanted to tell her Baby let's get out of here and make love in the beach, I wanted to be in her hands full of trees.

The night is delirious.
The lights of the city are
small, broken, hallucinogenic eyes
that are watching us.
I want to be in the middle of a highway.

It's been 213 days since that night
and yet I still can't erase your smile
from my mind
or forget the way your brown eyes gleamed
in the darkness of your room.
I can't ignore the feeling of your body
pressed softly against mine.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.

That's why I don't believe in anything,
not even my pillow,
not even in my father.
If any day I tell you that I believe you,
don't believe me because I don't
even believe in my own reflection.

I'm so confused,
I don't know if to cry,
be mad or sit down to think,
look for you or simply wait.

A lot of moments,
a couple of situations.
Love from rainstorms,
hooked in trains.
Night of flowers,
kisses and discussions.
And if you don't feel today,
you never felt at all.

Be it in La Habana or in Rome,
Because we all suffer and laugh
In the same language.
