PAST-TIME

“As you are,
I used to be.
As you see me now,
you too will be seen.
Think more of God,
for soon you here will be.”

Inscription in the cemetery of Palmar (Santander).

What happened over there hasn’t happened over here.

Our past is their future, as our present is already the past of others, and our future the present of some.

And soon this will belong to our past, as soon as I finish saying it.

Now?
