Testimonios
A poem by María Lidia Berón, survivor of gender violence.
“So many times they killed me/so many
Times I died / However I am
here resurrecting
I give thanks to misfortune and to
The hand with a dagger because it killed me
So bad and I kept singing "
"Like the cicada" María Elena Walsh
I rise from my many deaths
To listen
with ear tilted
On time
This weather
Time
What does it say
Path
Path
between that beginning
Of populated open spaces
Of parental arbitrariness
That is to say
times of parental severity
With its many dissonances
beatings and beatings
dissonances/distemperances
And beatings to come too
that they threaded
With invisible threads to my gaze
Were the same
But
they were different
different but the same
scenic symbols
that always communicate
that abominable action
Not wanted nor wanted
neither deserved
of evil
Evil with its everlasting
Brand
brands
of those wicked
deliberate accounts
Destined to torment
Torments
of/dwelling
Here
In my body
In my soul
In my heart
In my body/in my soul
And in my heart
Of girl
Of woman
Of Mother
In sum
A solid and nourished
list of catastrophes
catastrophes
of social disease
Called "Violence"
Violence
always reflection
of fragmentation
of the self
and among themselves
same alienated
that manipulating
our hesitations
they love us all
hanging down
“Times of subjective poverty”*
Time
Of Castrated Identities
Of Spiritual Famine
Simulation and Dissimulation
Of Vulgarity and Falsehoods
Time
that in due time
sowed
waste hearts
Seed
Of wasted hearts spreading
Time
– from breasts without milk
-Hug without arm
-of Eyes without Gaze
-of Flights without Wings
-of Beings without Entelequia
-Thirst without water
-of Teeth without Bread
-Today without Tomorrow
-Paso sin Camino
But the worst
Of everything
Times of Boys and Girls
Motherless
As a gesture of the Spirit
I rise from my many deaths
Waking up
walks and paths
Re-Inventing
choreographic wings
Here
where everything
All
It seems devastated
"Peace is the Other Name of Life"
John Paul II
