Cinematic
The film has moved on,
from that slate record
that played in my childhood,
my mother's records.
In those lives,
with their melodies,
still echoing today,
in the power of remembrance,
within this melancholic poem.
A life like a film, tinted
with scenes that turn into memories,
with those moments from the past that become stories,
where the older we grow,
the more we return to the past.
In that true cinema
that was us,
in the film
of the life
in those lives
----------
Cinematográfico
La película ha avanzado,
desde ese disco de pizarra,
que sonaba en mi niñez,
discos de mi madre.
En esas vidas,
con sus melodías,
que resuenan aún,
en el poder de recordar,
en este poema melancólico.
Una vida como una película que se tiñe
de escenas que se convierten en recuerdos,
en esos momentos pasados que son historias,
donde, cuando más años tenemos,
más volvemos al pasado.
En ese cine de verdad,
que fuimos nosotros,
en la película
de la vida
nuestra.

Thank you very much for wandering through the cloud of words that make up my poems.
Carlos, I’ve had songs throw me back into old rooms before, so this landed for me. Music really does have a strange way of keeping our younger selves nearby. Great job on this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you very much for swaying in those electric words, flying through the clouds of the internet until they take shape as poems.
