Sweeping movement

A dynamic relaxing technique is to lie on your back and concentrate on thinking about nothing. Instead of relaxing each of your muscles one by one, try to relax all of them at once over and over again in a sweeping movement. Picture your inhalations and exhalations as a feather that sweeps over your body, bringing peace.

I, on the contrary, want to stirr you up in a sweeping movement, making words flow over your body once and again, bringing blood to boil and muscles to rupture, rapture, ripture.
Rip me open and extract the bloody syllables.

Uncork my head and serve
the sparkling truth.






'I find it too violent in its imagery,' said a Canadian teacher to me once, referring to her disesteem towards Latin American literature.
