The Prolonged Time // El tiempo prolongado

The Prolonged Time // El tiempo prolongado

A Poem by Luis Diego Rojas

Life is unpredictable. And the ones to blame are those who appear and disappear, nearly without any previous notice.


Some people stay more than others, some remain for a very long time, and others change our own perception of the future and the present.


Now, at my not-that-young age, I began to measure time in periods of how much is left before meeting that one person again.


The waiting prolongs into an eternity and coerces the following instant to feign into a single blink.



--


Sp:


La vida es impredecible. Y es así por culpa de la gente que aparece y desaparece, casi sin previo aviso.


Algunas personas se quedan más que otras, otras permanecen por un largo tiempo, otras nos cambian nuestra percepción del futuro y el presente.


Ya, a mi no tan corta edad, empecé a medir el tiempo en lapsos de cuánto falta para reunirme de nuevo con esa persona.


La espera se prolonga en una eternidad y coacciona al instante siguiente para aparentar ser un pestañeo.
