Quotes by María Pérez-Talavera (?)

“Podés conseguirte una mina alta, petisa, pelirroja o pobre ¿Pero gorda? Gorda jamás. ¡Las gordas están re-jodidas!”
― María Pérez-Talavera, Umbrales líquidos

“Cincuenta años dormiste siempre en tu santo lecho, el nuestro. Hoy, este olor a corona de flores rompe por fin con ese yermo ritual de sociedad onírica; hoy, este luto proclama airoso el hasta que la muerte los separe. Esta noche me zafo de tu cama dura y fría para yacer –libre por fin– en este estrecho cajón, del que tampoco te quieres separar, porque encorvado y oloroso a mentol te me sientas al lado en una incómoda silla de madera, para hasta el último momento echarme en cara que yo me marché primero. Antes de lograr que te fueras.”
― María Pérez-Talavera, Umbrales líquidos

“Así, las páginas de los libros que leía y las hojas en blanco de mi cuaderno se convirtieron en portales sagrados a través de los cuales mi vida cobraba sentido. Empecé a componer mis propios versos, a escribir mis propios cuentos, a desarrollar personajes casi siempre representados físicamente en mi colección de madera; a crear esta nueva dimensión.”
― María Pérez-Talavera, Eran de madera
