Es una exhortación a los jóvenes para que

no estén tristes, ya que existen la

naturaleza, la libertad, Goethe, Schiller,

Shakespeare, las flores, los insectos, etc.

(F. KAFKA)

...pero le pasó (a Kafka) lo que a mí:

se separó

fue demasiado lejos en la soledad

y supo -tuvo que saber-

que de allí no se vuelve

se alejó -me alejé-

no por desprecio (claro es que nuestro orgullo es infernal)

sino porque una es extranjera

una es de otra parte,

ellos se casan,

procrean,

veranean,

tienen horarios,

no se asustan por la tenebrosa

ambigüedad del lenguaje

(A. PIZARNIK)

Il faut savoir ce que l'on veut. Quand on le sait, il faut avoir le courage de le dire; quand on le dit, il faut avoir le courage de le faire. 

G. Clemenceau
