Son tan jóvenes que deberían mirar al infinito.Los otrosles devuelven la intolerable realidad.Él y Ella. Bajo la lluvia púrpura  sonríen con resistencia. Duele su sonrisa metalizada.Se sienten preñados de solitud, de silencio.Cloroformizados por la vida,esperan que la burbuja de seda estalle y que la existencia individual se dilapide en un laberíntico ladrido.mothertongue 2014       7LabyrinthSusana AntunesAbandoned in the labyrinth of their polyhedral sustenance. Sauntering through delicate paths tenderly manipulated by the spider mite. They are young.The Milky Way multiplies with colors. They are so young that they ought to look towards infinityThe others return to them the intolerable reality. He and She. Under the purple rain they smile with resistance. Their metallic smile hurts.They feel pregnant with loneliness, with silence. Chloroformed to life, expecting that the silk bubble detonatesand the individual existence squandered on a labyrinthine bark.
