“Territorio rodeado de agua”.






¡Ah!
Entonces
para empezar
están las grandes islas continentales
América
                 Eurasia
                                 África
                                              la Antártida.
Y luego
                todas las otras islas conocidas
                                                                         como islas
grandes medianas y pequeñas.





“Si son deshabitadas se llaman islotes
y si son demasiado pequeñas...”





Bueno.
              Ya no importa.
Resulta evidente que el palabrario
se niega
a reconocer los miles de acepciones
del concepto
                         isla.
Nada de extensiones metafóricas
al estilo de
                     “pájaro:  isla de plumas
                                      palpitante
                                      móvilmente rodeada
                                      de aire fluyente
                                      de sonoridad
                                      diversa y sorpresiva
                                      y coloración
                                      impredecible
                                      se reproduce por
                                      islas”
                     “huevo:  isla
                                      generalmente blanca y calcárea
                                      o de territorio gelatinoso
                                      y color según el bicho
                                      habitada
                                      en número de uno
                                      por el ser en potencia
                                      y que se acaba
                                      con el ser que se realiza
                                      en isla”.
Por supuesto
usted es una isla
a quien rodea enteramente
                                                   esta poesía
archipiélago de letras
a su vez
enteramente rodeadas de papel
e isla
           también
                            de la conciencia
en un mar de percepción.
Y un hombre puede ser una isla
por completo circundado
                                                 de soledad
pero también
el círculo aislante
puede estar formado
por dos brazos amantes
o acaso
más bien corresponda hablar
entonces
                  de dos islas
unidas por istmos
según flujos de la marea
                                               del amor
y palabras
                     gaviotas
cruzando
                   de costa
                                   a costa.
Una mesa
                    de cafetería
asimismo es una isla
de plana geografía
apta
          para trazar el mapa
de una poesía
recibir en sus ciudades silla
los marineros
                           de la jornada
con sus ideas como oleajes
de turbulencia distinta
                                           varia
insumidas todas
                                al fin
                                           en las arenas
sin huella
                    de sus playas
o bien acoger
a los náufragos
                             del hambre
                                                   y de la sed
que con palabras menú-mágicas
invocan
                la aparición de su comida mercenaria
(la que sólo viene
                                 si se paga).
Y mi cama es una isla
cercada
               por insomnio sueño
región  del viejo perro fiel
              de la memoria
              y de la sala de espejos
              del recuerdo
              y la fantasía
              del subconsciente
con su multiplicación
de rostros
                    y paisajes
en un caleidoscópico
                                        país
del que podemos
                                 no salir nunca más
o acaso
la alborada se resuelva
en meridianos
                             de cantos
y arribemos al día
                                   costa
frontera
                 de otra isla existencial.
E igualmente
la ternura hace una isla
en los ojos de mi hijo
con peces de luz
                               en su agua cristalina
cuando me mira
después del leve paso
                                          brisa
de una caricia
en medio de un enorme océano
de dolor
                 americano
con balas islas
                            y bombas islas
de dureza
                    más dura
                                       cada día
y el terror secular
                                  clima
que nos sopla del norte
como tifones verde oliva
y marejadas de políticos
cavadores de tumbas
                                         islas
finales
              de sus víctimas
de espada
                    o economía.
Y una trinchera
es un vientre
                         isla
                                  de tierra
cercado del terror
                                  de muerte súbita
y preñado de sueños
                                        y esperanza guerrillera
o emputecido
                           del odio atónito
de la soldadesca
                                de paga
según el progenitor
E inconsciente a pesar
de que a veces
                            no escape al napalm
espasmódica vuela
la itinerante
ínsula mariposa
ala flor
               a la flor
                               isla
                                        color
siempre mudable
                                 a isla
                                            fruto
                                                       de sol
e isla
          semilla
                        ciclo
                                 continuación.
Pero la vida
                       siempre es una isla
frágil
           oasis
                     galáctico
desafiante
                    del hielo
                                     y del fuego
caras
           de la moneda usual
                                                de la desolación
en el insondable océano
                                             de casi-vacío
de espacio universal.
Acaso
             si añadimos
                                    la conciencia
sea más clara
                          la insularidad
y si se trata
de la inteligencia
estamos hablando
                                   de una isla
                                                        mítica
                                                                    extraña en verdad
aunque la rareza
                                se haga límite
cuando es el arte
                                el que aparece
la dialéctica
                       la matemática
                                                  o la ciencia
Por eso
               podemos hablar
de islas
               históricas
Marx
           y Heráclito
                                 Shakespeare
                                                         Galileo
Einstein
                y Demócrito

                                                    Da Vinci
Darwin

espumas
                 en la cresta de la ola
pero así
                vanguardia
                                      de lo que vendrá.
Mas aun
                 dentro del mar
                                              de la multitud
cada ego
                 es una isla
                                     se
                       desliza
            entre
                       instancias vivenciales
discrimina
ante quién
y cuánto
                 mostrar
                                 de sí
para hacer
                     mínima
la oportunidad
                             de ser herido
cangrejo
                 ermitaño
obligado
                 a crecer
                                buscando
                                                   cada día
nueva concha
                           existencial
para acomodar
                             la expansión
de su pensamiento
                                    hacia
ambos
             extremos
                               del infinito
y así
          enfrentado
                               por las contradicciones
descender
                    vertiginosa

                                                      desde
