Gossip

Roma Cagimaral 1987 (Cali)



Who finally finds the courage to speak,
write.

All who speak do so in the name of something.
But when names are lost, one can only speak with the intention of recovering what was lost.
That is why every word is fatal to action,
and all speech an artifice of the unnamed world.

Whoever finally finds the courage to speak up. May he find in silence what words never said.

If I were the one with the lonely courage, the one with the semantic steed on the microphone,
if I talk,
I would pose a demand.
