Three minutes thinking of you

By Señorita Lechuga

We finished the swimming class and the teacher told us: three minutes as stars! This is a relaxation position, with the body and its limbs extended in the shape of a star (either sea or sky) looking at the ceiling.

I looked in that direction, but before I found the ceiling I saw a golden, luminous beam of light. It resembled the light produced by the approach of summer, but I also thought of many things, like the more recent occasions where someone touched my back or we walked down the street holding hands unconscious of so much love and very aware (at least me) that it all ends. Put another way, I know that I am always that same chapter of initiation and ending.
