Casi dos mil
Pero esta entrada no es para disculparme ni para prometer que el 2010 viene lleno de posts, sino para avisar que quiero premiar al visitante número dos mil.
¿Quién se apunta? Los premios llegan a cualquier parte del mundo... bueno, casi, siempre y cuando no se pierdan en el correo.

A Kite is a Victim
You love it because it pulls
gentle enough to call you master,
strong enough to call you fool;
because it lives
like a desperate trained falcon
in the high sweet air,
and you can always haul it down
to tame it in your drawer.
A kite is a fish you have already caught
in a pool where no fish come,
so you play him carefully and long,
and hope he won't give up,
or the wind die down.
A kite is the last poem you've written
so you give it to the wind,
but you don't let it go
until someone finds you
something else to do.
A kite is a contract of glory
that must be made with the sun,
so you make friends with the field
the river and the wind,
then you pray the whole cold night before,
under the travelling cordless moon,
to make you worthy and lyric and pure.
Leonard Cohen - 1961
