Fracture and invoice eclipse
One of these days, chatting with some celestial bodies, they all agreed that this eclipse in Catalonia had been unique. They know what they're talking about: they are professionals at getting in each other's way. They always want to get ahead… But what surprised the celestial family (stars, planets, asteroids, satellites, comets) was that this eclipse could only be seen "in the territory". A phenomenon more earthly than astronomical.
With the eclipse, Barcelona, for the first time since Alaor's conquest, ceased to exist. Neither the city, nor what they call the metropolitan area of Barcelona, nor even the 11th district of Barcelona, Girona, was seen. Barcelona, cubed, in spatial infinity, was darkened. The eclipse, it seems, did not pass through this XXXLLL size Barcelona. Curious, isn't it? But everything happens where it is wanted to happen, when it is wanted and why it is wanted.
The eclipse was only seen in the Ebre, Camp de Tarragona, and Ponent. The whole world came, the universe, every Tom, Dick, and Harry, every Christ, God, and his mother… Well, if they could. Many creatures discovered suddenly that "rodalies" (commuter trains) are "llunyanies" (far away), or the land of never-never, and Peter Pan has been eating grilled Cobi meat for years to survive. Those who wanted to come by wheels were also dazzled, because these things they call roads are freezers of badly played lives that go nowhere. Those who managed to arrive were amazed at how all sorts of PVC, plexiglass, polyethylene structures, artificial ones like fences, seats, tents, were sprouting in nature so that they could see "in the territory" what could not be seen in Barcelona DF (Districte Fotut - Shitty District). And the lovers of anthropological cardiology danced to syncopated rhythms, blinded as they were by the glint that there, in those places, paths, hills, mounds, mountain ranges, chainsaws…. other human beings lived. Therefore, the eclipse was light, light, light. Crystal ball, tarot, palm reading… Astrology!
The future is here and it is the "territory" planet. Everything will end up here and be diverted. The eclipse is an essay, a laboratory, a blackboard. Big-headed Barcelona, spider Barcelona, washing machine Barcelona, can't take it anymore. It's no longer about people's flesh, that's also a moral issue, of values. It's not just physical, material, it's also spiritual, energetic. Too much bad temper and little laughter. The gut is empty. The body is emaciated. And the head tends to be Lilliputian. The era of transhumance, transfer, transmigration of bodies and souls has begun. The eclipse is putting Old Catalonia and New Catalonia face to face. One dying, the other still wiggling.
Barcelona, like a wounded, most dangerous animal, will give everything to transform Catalonia into Barcelona. Transfusion of contaminated blood. A macrocephalic, arachnid Catalonia, a machine for washing memories, lands, people. Barcelona will no longer remember Catalonia; Catalonia will no longer remember Barcelona. Without a past, without a future. Without freedom. The birth of a new organic being in the style of Frankenstein. A single body made of pieces, bits, fragments of millions of creatures. Amorphous, disfigured, wounded, in pain. A Catalonia prosthesis-chip-lobotomy great and free. A dictatorship, an occupation. Cannibalism. Nothing will remain, but we will all be "territory". Leveled, uniformed, cemented... But first, we will have to see: who eclipses whom. Because as was seen the other day, many are not used to phenomena of (and in) nature. And the struggle and the factions are these.
