Hamlet Lima Quintana
it all depends on light,
on the way light reveals things.
it all depends on form,
on contours,
on interpolations and
on doubts.
It all depends as well
on our being marked by time,
on the spaces giving us the headlines.
The true problem is choosing whether
to pursue the shadows
or to let ourselves be pursued by them.
there is a strange "to be or not to be"
in this half being,
in this half not being:
To emerge from the shadows
or to perpetuate them.
And at the deepest level of the abyss,
after liberating others,
all those who are others,
to remember
without urgency,
that we are the prisoners.
And thereby ….
to liberate ourselves.
