Camara Lenta
Javiera Mena
Slow Motion
Changing skin
equilibrating
advancing
you prefer to see from above
the horizon.
You look for me later
and among the rays
your hands
point the way
to the most suitable.
When I look at you
in slow motion
your movements
give me this place.
This contemplative
silence
when I manage
to be by your side, I perceive
the different paths
to reach your eyes.
I want to find them
in my line
I head
towards you on the edge
descend then
so I can approach
and see the limit
where your face retains
its figure
of a teenager
its figure
of a perpetual teenager.
When I coincide
in slow motion
and in the distance
our friends
inside the water
move their bodies
when I manage
to be by your side, I perceive.
I want to find them
in my line
I head
towards you on the edge
descend then
so I can approach
and see the limit
where your face retains
its figure
of a teenager
its figure
of a perpetual teenager.
