READIN

Jeremy's journal

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.

— Sir Francis Bacon

🦋 Siguiendo los pasos de Machado...

by Jeremy Osner

Jugador, son tus apuestas
el casino y nada más;
Jugador, no hay casino,
se hace casino al apostar.
Al apostar se hace el casino,
y al lanzar las fichas en el fieltro
se oía el dinero que nunca
se va a poder recuperar.
Jugador no hay casino
sino monedas en la mar.

(cf. "Proverbios y cantares " No. 29)

Cuentista, son tus palabras
la idioma y nada más;
cuentista, no hay idioma,
se hace idioma al hablar.
Al hablar se hace la idioma,
y al recordar las sílabas habladas
se oía el relato que nunca
se ha de volver a narrar.
Cuentista no hay idioma
sino burbujas en las aguas.
