Los recuerdos


Los recuerdos suelen
Contarte mentiras
Se amoldan al viento,
Amañan la historia,
Por aquí se encogen,
Por allá se estiran,
Se tiñen de gloria,
Se bañan en lodo,
Se endulzan, se amargan
A nuestro acomodo,
Según nos convenga
Porque antes que nada
Y apesar de todo
Hay que sobrevivir.

Recuerdos que volaron lejos
O que los armarios encierran,
Cuando está por cambiar el tiempo,
como las heridas de guerra,
Vuelven a dolernos de nuevo.

Los recuerdos tienen
Un perfume frágil
Que les acompaña
Por toda la vida
Y tatuado a fuego
Llevan en la frente
Un día cualquiera
Un nombre corriente
Con el que caminan
Con paso doliente,
Arriba y abajo,
Húmedas aceras
Canturreando siempre
La misma canción.

Y por más que tiempos felices
Saquen a pasear de la mano,
Los recuerdos suelen ser tristes
Hijos, como son, del pasado,
De aquello que fue y ya no existe.

Pero los recuerdos
Desnudos de adornos,
Limpios de nostalgias,
Cuando solo queda
La memoria pura,
El olor sin rostro,
El color sin nombre,
Sin encarnadura,
Son el esqueleto
Sobre el que construimos,
Todo lo que somos,
Aquello que fuimos
Y lo que quisimos
Y no pudo ser.

Después inflexible, el olvido
Irá carcomiendo la historia;
Y aquellos que nos han querido
Restaurarán nuestra memoria
A su gusto y a su medida
Con recuerdos
De sus vidas...
