Read Borges-What can I do to keep you?

/Akane

You love someone, give them lamentation, insight and loyalty,

use the lowest humility and the highest loneliness.

You gave her the memory of the rose flowers she saw one evening many years ago,

The beauty of nothingness and fantasy.

Sartre, the philosopher,

said that love makes an individual's freedom mercilessly plundered,

but Borges' lover, let him be plundered in the dust,

and get a flower that blooms like you.

What can I do to keep you

/Borges

I'll give you thin streets, desperate sunsets and

the moon in the middle of nowhere.

I'll give you the sorrow of someone who has been looking at the lonely moon for a long time.

I'll give you my dead ancestor,

the ancestors who were worshipped with marble:

My father's father,

died at the border of Buenos Aires,

two bullets went through his chest,

died with a beard,

and the body was wrapped in cowhide by soldiers;

My mother's grandfather, who was only 24 years old at that time, led 3 people to charge in Peru, and now

all of them are dead souls on horseback.

I give you all the insight in my book,

and all the masculinity and humor in my life.

I give you the loyalty of someone who has never believed.

I'll give you my own core-

I don't make words and sentences, I don't deal with dreams,

I'm not touched by time, joy and adversity.

I'll give you the memory of a yellow rose you saw in the evening many years before you were born.

I'll give you an interpretation of your life,

your own theory,

your real and amazing existence.

I give you my loneliness, my darkness and my heart's thirst;

I tried to impress you with confusion, danger and failure.
