Quotes by Cristina Peri Rossi (?)

“No quería dejar de hablar de amor para hablar de postres. Sólo quería dejar de hablar de amor para hacerlo.”
― Cristina Peri Rossi, El amor es una droga dura

“Le dije que me gustaba, y quedé insatisfecha.
La verdad era que a veces no me gustaba nada, pero no podía vivir sin ella.
Le dije que la quería, pero también quiero a mi perro.
Después le dije que la amaba, pero mi incomodidad fue mayor aún [...]
decidí prescindir del lenguaje, entonces me acusó de no querer comunicarme.
Desde hace unos años, sólo existe el silencio.
Encuentro, en él, una rara ecuanimidad:
la de los placeres solitarios.”
― Cristina Peri Rossi, El museo de los esfuerzos inútiles

“Y está triste
como una silla abandonada
en la mitad del patio azul
Los pájaros la rodean
Cae una aguja
Las hojas resbalan
sin tocarla
Y está triste
en mitad del patio
con la mirada baja
los pechos alicaídos
dos palomas tardas
Y un collar
sin perro
en la mano

Como una silla ya vacía.”
― Cristina Peri Rossi, Poemas De Amor Y Desamor (Asi Fue)
