On Luis's couch, Ilich coughs up all his dross, his inventory of defects. There are definite touches of humor and irony in his proposal-asking his poet-psychotherapist's permission to write a novel because he wants to leave poems behind: No more bunches of light. / No more flowering asterisks. / No more sand suns. Though, later, insisting on the novel's plot and characters, he confesses that what he's after is to make enough money with the novel to publish more poetry, to add to the fourteen chapbooks already printed. The answer that comes from Freud's disciple is conclusive: None of this prosaic backsliding / None of these lowercase narratives / You're called to be / A love poem!. There's a very serious game going on in this poetry, apparently simple and even jovial, but which captures the depth of human nature. The result is 'On the far shore'. En el diván de Luis es donde Ilich arroja el lastre, su inventario de defectos. Claro que hay ciertos toques de humor y de ironÃa en su propuesta, pues pide a su poeta-psicoterapeuta que le deje escribir una novela porque desea dejar atrás los poemas: No más racimos de luz. / No más asteriscos en flor. / No más soles de arena. Aunque luego, insistiendo en lo de la trama y los personajes de novela, confiesa que con ello lo que quiere es ganar dinero para publicar otros libros de poesÃa, que se sumarÃan asà a los catorce ya salidos de imprenta. La respuesta del epÃgono de Freud es contundente: Nada de retrocesos prosaicos / Nada de narrativas minúsculas / Estás llamado a ser / Poema de amor!. Un juego muy serio encontramos en esta poesÃa, en apariencia sencilla y algo jocosa, pero que expresa lo profundo de la naturaleza humana. El resultado es 'A la otra orilla'.
