Hit one for the sun en El Universal

Este domingo El Universal, en su suplemento Confabulario, publica mi cuento beisbolero futurista techno patriótico "Hit one for the sun". Se encuentra en cualquier puesto de periódicos, pero también basta picarle aquí. Por cierto que soy súper fan de los Azulejos.

by John Burnside

She loved the wet whisper of silt
when tidewater seeped away
and the estuary rose to the town
through copper light,

a tender of glass and scales
and driftwood varnished with salt,
a circle she walked for miles
in search of shells,

picking starfish from a sheet
of silver tension, puzzled by the trails
of viscera, the threads of bloodless meat
and resurrected forms that had no names

but offered kinship, memory, regret,
a pulse between the water and her hand,
the feel of something old and buried deep,
heartbeat and vision quickening the sand.
