Merce divulges: Two… One to screw it in, and one not 2.
John: —silence— and then laughter.
On September 5th 1982, i attended a concert of John Cage’s music in celebration of his seventieth birthday. It took place at St. Marks Church, and this is my recollection of that evening.
Certeza del exiliado
En cada ola de mar
se aleja algo mio,
pero se que lo lleva
a tus orillas.
A Refugee’s Certainty
With every wave
a part of me drifts away,
but I know that it will
be brought to your shores.

Paisaje de la soledad
Reposan en mi sangre
tus recuerdos,
hechos de soledad y viento,
bajo una luna roja,
sin estrellas,
resbalando en ritmo
del silencio.
Solitary Landscape
Your memories repose in
my veins,
made of solitude and wind,
under a reddish moon,
without stars,
flowing in the rhythm of silence.

Siempre pensando en ti
Marinero en el alba
de tu esencia
por el mar infeliz
de mis palabras.
Caminante sin huellas
en la arena,
por la ruta espiral
de la memoria.
Always thinking of you
Sailing in the dawn of your
essence through the unfaithful
sea of my words.
Wandering without footprints
in the sand,
on memory’s spiralling lane.
