Íngrima la ciudad (ALJA, 2021) de Ramiro Rodríguez es un recorrido nocturno por las calles, no de una ciudad en concreto, sino de todas las ciudades. Una serie caótica de ventanas abiertas por donde el yo poético se asoma con ojos entrecerrados para contemplar las tonalidades de la noche, las lenguas luminosas que inundan la superficie de aceras y puertas, la prisa y el temor de la gente que ya no es gente sino insectos que vuelan en su ebriedad de alas. Los protagonistas no son personas. Son los temores detrás del pecho, las calles aglomeradas en el abandono, las plazas secas de la memoria, la muerte que entra por la puerta sin anunciarse, los chasquidos ensordecedores de ambulancias y vehículos policíacos que surcan las arterias principales de la ciudad, la ciudad que se inunda de sombras, se llena de luces, se apuñala con high heels, la ciudad que se marchita en su insomnio crónico...
Solitary the City (ALJA, 2021) by Ramiro Rodriguez is a nocturnal passage through the streets, not of a specific city, but of all cities. A chaotic series of open windows through which the poetic self peers out with narrowed eyes to contemplate the shades of the night, the luminous tongues that flood the surface of sidewalks and doors, the haste and fear of people who are no longer people but insects flying on their drunkenness of wings. The protagonists are not people. They are the fears behind the chest, the crowded streets in abandonment, the dry plazas of memory, death entering through the door without warning, the deafening squeal of ambulances and police vehicles that cross the main streets of the city, the city flooded with shadows, filled with lights, stabbed with high heels, the city that withers in its chronic insomnia...
