Aguas Bajan

Aguas Bajan

Marina Losada

It advances without pause, occupy, fill everything up. Floods.

Enters, penetrates, overflows, conquers every place.

It does not stop.

Is a vain attempt to contain it, a meaningless consolation.

The night, the silence and the screams, the eternal rain.

Short lights and the inevitable struggle against the loss.

Titans comes out from me. Tears, prayers. Exhausted efforts.

I breathe uncertainty, I beat fear.

Adrenaline, yearning for a hug. I pray it to stop, I pray for knowing about the outside.

Pray that I may leave.

The water comes down and the corroded surfaces shows me what is under the masks. All of us, without exception, have been unmasked.

The light of the day after, day that lasts for months, shows me our truths. Horrible and beautiful.

2 de abril del 2013, la ciudad de La Plata, Argentina sufre la mas grande inundación de su historia

El sol caía cuando empecé a pelear contra el miedo y el agua. Empezaba una noche en la que recorrería la frontera de mis límites abrazada a mi instinto.

El sol se preparaba para salir cuando empezó a bajar el agua. Sin saber, busqué la cámara. Con necesidad visceral disparé sin pensar, casi sin ver. Instinto, más.

Con poco resto ya, conseguí abrir la puerta. Pasillo, luz, voces, gente, manos, lágrimas.
