César García, tarot & poetry

A poetry inspired by Marseille Tarot cards.

Et lingua avium

Rhythms in proximity and distance.
Triumphs in motion.
Courtiers who don't speak.

Apology to what is present.
Amnesia to what is absent.
The shape shouts to us to look.

In the world of images
cacophonies live together,
echoes and silences.

Noise blinds us.
The echo points out the pathway
where the bird flies.

Focusing on the echo is the present.
When shapes resound
there's transformation.

Each form whistles a nuance,
a disbalance and a contradiction.
Lucky us when they make us derail.

Listening to resonances of shapes.
Dreaming on following the trace
of a transforming bird.

Silence becomes analogy
that bonds the impress of an image
in its incessant metamorphosis.

Hearing the transformation.
Seeing the message.
Smelling the exception.

Birds teach us
to speak
their own language.
