Pichu


 I know there are many cats out there:

Some are orange, others are stripped gray, elegant black, like little panthers, fluffy white... But Pichu is a special cat. Because she is my cat.

She has beautiful green eyes and very long whiskers. Her coat is fluffy warm, with white, orange and black hair. She has long, soft legs that seem to be fashioned from the finest plush. With gummy paws at the bottom, that I could play with all day. 

She has the heart of a scientist: always doing her research, because she is so curious. She learned how to go out of the house when she was bored, jumping out of the window from the second floor or sneaking through a hole in the mosquito mesh at the first floor. She would sneak in the kitchen and steal some food when nobody was looking and sometimes she would even hide her food under Andrea's bed, for later. She learned to knock down cups that were half full, so that she could drink the liquid. She was always ready when it was lunch time and she would call Andrea and bring her out of her room to the kitchen table to eat together as a family.

Pichu likes to go out with her friends. She wishes they could go to a kitty pizzeria for and eat together. I bet she'd order a cherry cola. Pichu looks like a white cloud against the blue sky when she is resting on the edge of our patio wall. She waits patiently under the sun until her favorite neighbor cats come looking for her. They all have fun playing tag.

Foto

 Dices que me burlo de ti porque me mandaste la foto de tu cara y puse el emoji 🤣🤣🤣

Pero no sabes que solo estaba tratando de replicar la expresión, tan enigmática como divertida, de tu rostro que resalta en el fondo obscuro de tu habitación.

En donde estás tan lejos de mí. A miles de millas, bajo otro cielo, en otro clima, en otra realidad.

Dices que me burlo, pero no sabes cuánto te extraño. Cuánto desearía verte, no solamente en una foto, sino entre mis manos. No sabes cuántas veces he sentido que se me nublan los ojos cuando te siento lejos. Cuando sé que lo estás pasando mal y no estoy para ayudarte...

Y lamento no haberte dicho lo que te digo siempre: que estás muy guapo, que me gusta mucho tu foto. Dices que ya te lo he dicho -soy muy repetitiva-pero aun así ¿necesitas que te lo repita para que te sientas seguro?

Es verdad: te ves guapísimo. Me encanta tu foto y tu sonrisa. Gracias por mandármela. Gracias por hacer el esfuerzo por hacer una pose diferente. 

Y yo 

Yo necesito tu foto. 

Para sentirme segura. 


Necesito ver tu cara. Tus ojos. Necesito saber que te importo y que estás pensando en mí. Tu foto va más allá de un momento, de un detalle: es un poco de ti, mi amor. Al menos algo que puedo tener hoy.

Nov. 7th - 8th, 22

 You are a dot on the map. 

But as long as you keep moving, I can breathe easy. 

And then you send me a voice note, which I don't hate because I miss your voice. 

You rode from dawn til dusk and into the night by the lunar eclipse

Leaping through my phone

Nested in my mind

Like the eccentric light beam that you are.
