Lost Summer 2018, 2023 Set of 5 drawings and two poems by Sergio Calderón. Lost Summer Sirens wouldn't call The sun didn’t darken my skin The smell of salt is just a memory I didn't pack my towel The sunscreen didn't mix with the sand on my shoes I miss the redness on my foot on summer evenings The hours spent in blankness Just listening the clock ticking in the living room, The sea waves The drunks downstairs at night The hours of waiting Waiting for something to happen Then waiting again Waiting for waiting Always in a sleepy alertness The sirens wouldn't call They would be immune to your images You lost your power to charm them They wouldn't lose a second craving for you You are invisible now Just as your images are Leave the sirens alone They wouldn't sing for you anymore Go and crash your boat elsewhere! London, 27 August 2018 And look at the sea With longing And the longing for what is to come And ask about that longing Which is not dreaming But wanting to dream London, 9 January 2023 |
