La Maquina (Spanish)

Posted by Lalo Jun. 4, 2008 @ 8:36 PM EDT

La máquina nunca se detiene - por Luis Bermer

El disonante chirrido de los inmensos engranajes sobre nuestras cabezas, formando parte del zumbido ininterrumpido de las turbinas. Escapes de vapor resoplando en las alturas inalcanzables a la vista, reino de la oscuridad. El gas que inhalamos es nocivo, pero necesario. La cadena trae aquello a lo que los moldes de metal líquido dieron forma, muchos kilómetros arriba, en los estratos superiores. Compruebo la firme sujeción de la vaina radioactiva a los anclajes del cuerpo del obús que llega a mis manos. Ha de ser perfecto porque la perfección es posible, lo único posible con nuestro trabajo. La hilera de piezas orgánicas que conformamos junto a la cadena no tiene fin. Bajo la rejilla a nuestros pies se abre un abismo de estructuras metálicas, débilmente iluminadas por destellos incandescentes, que provienen de la actividad que se desarrolla en las profundidades. Columnas de tubos humeantes invaden su legítimo espacio, conectando distancias inaprensibles.

Toda pieza es sustituible.

El ruido es ensordecedor por momentos. Una cascada de chispas se derrama desde algún lugar, tal vez un cable eléctrico se ha desprendido. Todas las vainas llegan perfectamente ajustadas, una tras otra. Imágenes en azul se apoderan de mi mente: cientos de cañones gigantescos apuntando hacia el cielo disparan sin cesar contra nuestros enemigos. La tierra tiembla. Luz blanca envuelta en llamas convierte la noche en día y...tengo que parar. Los pensamientos no son útiles para la máquina, entorpecen su correcto funcionamiento.

El daño es reparable.

Fabricamos muerte. Fabricamos victoria. Una tras otra. Compruebo y admiro su absoluta perfección. Una violenta explosión lo sacude todo, pero no perdemos el equilibrio. El impacto ha sido lejano. Durante unos segundos nos cubre la oscuridad, aunque la cadena no se detiene. Nuestras fuerzas redobladas compensan la insignificante pérdida. No existe aquello que no podamos conseguir. Me arden los brazos. Inconfundible el distante sonido de los martillos al golpear las planchas de acero, descendiendo sobre nosotros para bendecir nuestras energías. Un hilo de sangre brota de mi nariz.

Nada es desechable.

Temperatura extrema. El dolor que recorre mis brazos cubiertos de ampollas, dejándolos inservibles, es un impedimento a la consecución del fin. Ya no puedo tocar las obras sin defecto que trae la cadena. Se abren. Supuran sangre negra. He caído de espaldas sobre la rejilla. Me recogen, arrastrándome lejos de la perfección que he conocido. Afortunadamente, una infinidad de piezas podrán ocupar mi puesto, asegurando la máxima eficacia. La máquina no debe percibir la sustitución. La nueva pieza está ya en su nuevo puesto, es lo último que veo antes de iniciar el descenso. Mi carcajada es de pura satisfacción. Sé cual es la nueva función que me corresponde por derecho. Descendemos por pasajes abiertos que no parecen tener término. El metal dibuja inconmensurables estructuras infinitas en su gloria. Nos acercamos. Puedo sentirlo en el ritmo palpitante de las vibraciones que hacen inseguros nuestros pasos. El fragor lacera oídos a punto de quebrarse irreversiblemente y el calor es suficiente para desprender la piel, la intensidad roja quema los ojos, pero nada de eso importa porque ya hemos llegado.

Será un honor servir de alimento al corazón hirviente de la máquina.

The machine never pauses - by Luis Bermer The dissonant squeak of the immense gears on our heads, forming part of the uninterrupted humming of the turbines. Steam escapes resoplando in the unattainable heights in view, kingdom of the dark. The gas that we inhaled is injurious, but necessary. The chain brings that one to which the liquid metal molds gave form, many kilometers above, in the layers superiors. I verify the firm subjection of the radioactive case to the anchorages of the body of the howitzer that arrives at my hands. It has to be perfect because the perfection is possible, unique the possible thing with our work. The row of organic pieces that we conformed next to the chain does not have aim. Under the grid on our feet an abyss of metallic structures is abre, weakly illuminated by incandescent sparkles, that come from the activity that is developed in the depths. Columns of smoky tubes invade their legitimate space, connecting unlearnable distances. All piece is replaceable. The noise is deafening per moments. A cascade of sparks is spilled from some place, perhaps an electrical cable has followed. All the cases arrive perfectly fit, one after another one. Images in blue seize of my mind: hundreds of gigantic guns aiming towards the sky shoot incessantly against our enemies. The Earth shakes. Surrounded white light in flames turns the night into day and... I must stop. The thoughts are not useful for the machine, obstruct their correct operation. The damage is repairable. We make death. We make victory. One after another one. I verify and I admire its absolute perfection. One does violence to explosion shakes everything to it, but we do not lose the balance. The impact has been distant. During seconds it covers the dark to us, although the chain does not pause. Our redoubled forces compensate the insignificant loss. It does not exist what we did not prune to obtain. The arms burn to me. Unmistakable the distant sound of the hammers when striking the steel plates, descending envelope we to bless our energies. A blood thread appears of my nose. Nothing is disposable. Extreme temperature. The pain that crosses my arms covered with blisters, leaving them unsuitable, is an impediment to the attainment of the aim. No longer I can touch works without defect that brings the chain. They are abren. Supuran bleeds black. I have fallen of backs on the grid. They gather to me, dragging me far from the perfection that I have known. Luckyly, a infinity of pieces will be able to occupy my position, assuring the maximum effectiveness. The machine does not have to perceive the substitution. The new piece is already in its new position, is the latest that I see before initiating the reduction. My outburst of laughter is of pure satisfaction. I know what is the new function that corresponds to me by right. We descend by open passages that do not seem to have term. The metal draws incommensurable infinite structures in its glory. We approached. I can feel it in the trembling rate of the vibrations that make our steps uncertain. The din lacera heard on the verge of becoming broken irreversibly and the heat is sufficient to give off the skin, the red intensity burning fire the eyes, but nothing of that matters because already we have arrived. It will be an honor to serve as food the boiling heart of the machine.
