A Puerto Rican Activist in San Francisco

A Gift From The Past February 10, 2008

10 years later.

As the thought of cleaning things up from the past crossed your mind, the painting on the wall crossed your eyes

And made you wonder

Why was it so unclear, when he gave it to you,

An interpretation of this abstract piece of art.

Now after your wounds are healed and after appreciating it for many years,

You find a peculiar comfort in it.

You don’t know whether your interpretation of it was his actual and conscious muse,

But that piece of art goes hand in hand with the story of you two.

If he never realized the story, it is still comforting for you how in the very deep of his heart he felt the story all along.

Then as the thought of cleaning up things from your past crossed your mind, you understood how the bloody spot,

the cloudy story,

the touch of the beast,

the weak woman and

the obscure open door,

were his guilt screaming a way out.
