Se ha tenido que vivir con mucha intensidad para escribir un poemario como Ruinas. Con su lectura nadie queda impasible. Imágenes cocidas a fuego lento, o en ráfagas, que abordan sin complacencia la destrucción, la muerte, la locura, la niebla de los límites. Palabras que cargan el peso de un oxímoron, la contención en el desborde, y que deslumbran también por sus pausas, sus silencios. Quizás nunca hemos leído en la Cuba de todas partes a una poeta con tanta riqueza en sus temas y emociones, pero, a la vez, tanta coherencia y desnudez. Sentimos que ella decanta y poda para nosotros con rabia afirmativa.
Trata este libro sobre todas las muertes posibles dentro de una maleta de cuero, una vida o un gesto que pudiéramos llamar Magali Alabau, la Poesía, lo que evitaremos fundir (confundir) con la línea de la isla de Cuba hundiéndose en el horizonte, mientras vemos arremolinarse en este derrumbe eterno otras historias de personajes como Zelda, Camille y Paul Claudel, Hölderlin, Artaud, el genio, la demencia, el eros y el pathos.
Viajamos por épocas y calles imaginarias, pero hechas de vivencias reales en Paris, New York, La Habana, entre espacios de la infancia, el inventario de las paredes y las mutaciones, los sanatorios, los cuartos, los cuerpos enfermos, el infinito universo de lo cotidiano que nos justifica. Y caen y se quiebran también el mar, la nieve, la tarde, el lenguaje... Y cómo cuidar las palabras?, se pregunta, si todo se rompe. / Aunque lo cuides / se rompe.
De esa fractura que resulta imposible sustituir se conforma este libro, de umbrales desgastados, de quebraderos, arañazos en el tiempo, y también de los vacíos que abrimos en medio de la nada para salvarnos, con las preguntas que no alcanzamos a responder. Y es que semejante desgarro, esa punzada indistinguible entre la locura y la lucidez que Magaly Alabau relata con sus Ruinas, quizás, antes de la caída, sencillamente nos define. ILEANA ÁLVAREZ, FRANCIS SÁNCHEZ
