Sample excerpt

Un pedazo de noticiero, la risa de mi prima, el motor de un camión que pasó justo entonces. Ninguno de esos sonidos quería estar junto, y sin embargo así fue ese diciembre.

La memoria no ordena, la memoria amontona, y el montón también tiene una forma. Así suena un año cuando lo recuerdas: todo encimado y todo al mismo tiempo.

Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, acumulativa. El collage sonoro enumera fuentes reales: la letra es un inventario. Sin tempo, el texto se dice entre fragmentos, nunca encima de ellos.
