Monólogo de Frankenstein
Esta luz que viene hasta nosotros
del fondo mismo de la noche
quizá resulta demasiado grande
para beberla al despertar. No sé
qué extraña suerte me condujo aquí.
Hecho con los pedazos de otros hombres
tan condenados como yo, me veo
frente a esa luz y a solas,
como si un alba ajena me arrojase
sobre un lecho de plumas
demasiado pequeño para tanto amor.
Conozco ahora las dificultades
de huir remando al viento. Sobre el agua
no quedan flores que me cubran, ni
es mi rostro el que flota en la corriente.
Tal vez si el mundo un día
deja de odiar su imagen, lo que soy
cuando se mira en mí, pueda yacer
junto a un cuerpo desnudo, como un túnel
por donde atravesar la madrugada
y ya no importe ni me duela
que este paseo por el lago dure una eternidad.
de Profundidad de campo (1997-2000)

Frankenstein 1910
Frankenstein (1910) is the first known film version of Mary Shelley’s novel. The film was produced by Thomas Edison’s company and directed by J. Searle Dawley. Very soon after its release, the film was deemed sacrilegious for its macabre content — tame by today’s standards, shocking in 1910. Consequently, the film was not shown in many theaters and fewer prints than usual were struck for sale.
As was the challenge for all filmmakers in 1910 who were adapting novels to single-reel films, the story races through the familiar storyline, touching only briefly on salient moments. Director Dawley presents us with Frankenstein’s departure to college; two years later he discovers the process of the regeneration of life; mulling over ethics; the creation of the monster; Frankenstein repulsed and terrified by the monster; Frankenstein’s return home to family and fiancée, followed by the monster; the monster haunts Frankenstein and sees himself for the first time; the wedding of Frankenstein; the threat of the monster to Frankenstein and Elizabeth; and the disappearance of the monster into the mirror.
Strangely, for those of us familiar with the Universal Frankenstein (1931), Frankenstein’s monster is constituted through chemicals in a large cauldron in a sequence that employs puppetry of a skeleton, is limber of movement, and speaks fluently to his creator.
The performance of Augustus Phillips (Frankenstein) is deeply couched in Victorian stage traditions, all posing and sweeping gestures. Charles Ogle, however, does a good job of bringing the monster to life in a fright wig, extended fingers, and slapstick shoes.
For many years, Frankenstein was considered a lost film until it was learned that one solitary 35mm print had survived in a private collection.

Autorretrato
Poema del gran poeta mexicano Homero Aridjis, titulado Autorretrato a los cincuenta y cuatro años". Allá donde pone "Homero Aridjis" cada cual puede, o no, poner su propio nombre y variar los otros datos en consecuencia.
Soy Homero Aridjis
nací en Contepec, Michoacán,
tengo cincuenta y cuatro años,
esposa y dos hijas.
En el comedor de mi casa
tuve mis primeros amores:
Dickens, Cervantes, Shakespeare
y el otro Homero.
Un domingo en la tarde,
Frankenstein salió del cine del pueblo
y a la orilla de un arroyo
le dio la mano a un niño, que era yo.
El Prometeo formado con retazos humanos
siguió su camino, pero desde entonces,
por ese encuentro con el monstruo,
el verbo y el horror son mios.
