All my life, I remember myself building hideaways and shelters for my soul. And just when everything is ready and I’ve started to get comfortable, when everything is in order and I sit down for a moment to rest and have a smoke, the devil enters me and ignites a fire. -What are these scarecrows? he tells me. The shade is not for you, my girl. Are you forging...

Description & Specifications

All my life, I remember myself building hideaways and shelters for my soul. And just when everything is ready and I’ve started to get comfortable, when everything is in order and I sit down for a moment to rest and have a smoke, the devil enters me and ignites a fire. -What are these scarecrows? he tells me. The shade is not for you, my girl. Are you forging again? And then I let out a “damn it” and turn everything upside down.

Then I sit cross-legged and lick my wounds like a dog. It's okay, I say. Let's go for more. Anyway, Rosie was born with her gaze fixed on the dawn. So, hoist the sails. My life is a small fishing boat. A little worn-out fishing boat that has emerald moons in its mast and a bare-headed, mischievous sun as its helmsman. A fishing boat, without a course.

-Where are we going, captain? the helmsman asks me, winking. Wherever the waves go! I say formally. And the emerald moons that are on the mast burst like pomegranates on the deck. And the bare-headed, mischievous sun leaves his helm and dances. And the night fills with thousands of suns, tricksters. And my soul fills with colorful nights. It fills with emerald moons and sea birds. How can all of this fit inside me? Where can they squeeze in, damn them;
