Analect 2.765x



20 August 2010. Ultimate regression. And a most beautiful song, from Mexico--Cuco Sánchez--La Cama de Piedra. "La mujer que a mi me quiera, me ha de querer de ha de veras..." Scene from a film--una cantina--with an abbreviated Greek chorus in the background--the bartender, towell in hand, polishing a glass, and two customers, turned in each other's direction... He's much younger here, seated at one of the tables, holding a guitar. Moody light. La servidora (something of Patsy Cline--how is this now not possible?) approaches, ample bouffant of dark hair, bending forward to place something at his side...

Or, much later, with an elaborate line of mariachis on the stage just behind him, now with a wider face, large sombrero over his chest, its brim embroidered with flowers...singing just the two verses...

Adoración...
