Palpitating (Art in the Origin 2018)

As a sum of winds every time stronger, in that way went through me the natural.
I arrived to Cantabria and this land began to give me its essence.
The great stone: The water that drags the interior shadow, it swallows it, it eliminates it.
The layers of my skin/my skin, my scales were cleaned. I renewed myself and I impregnated myself again.
I, the stone and the sea/one. As it was at the begining of times.
Walking I found the stone that everything knows. Sum of winds. Hairs, mine, parallel structure
In a moment I saw it. Tiny, unique it belongs to the sea, the sublime nature, ephemeral, radiant.
I swallow the green, I transform myself, I become into an algae.
The palpitating is always accompanying me together with the lines which go through my body hugging me.
I lie down among the leaves and close my eyes, silent noises.
Among the waves are imposing the guardians and witnesess of the time. They are scars, many.
There nest the birds of the paradise: it is the maternal stone.
Then I rest on the salt marsh and I already am life/only breathing.
