Where my voice is, that is where I feel my pulse

Flor Aguilera García

 

 

 

 

 

 

If my

back laughs alone

it’s all your

fault:

you

have

not  learnt  how  to  tickle  the  front.

There  is  a place

on   my    neck,

on my thumb,

in   a hidden

part  of  my

head, which

moves me like a puppet

it pulses        it whispers

such    wise             instructions:

heal   and   live              laugh  and  love

heartbeatheartbeat                  heartbeatheartbeat
