“Naked I offer you my treasure”: the past poet of Federico Sturzenegger

“You have to be brave to love, stripped and naked I offer you my treasure I open my arms and kneel as if before a firing squad. Today you are not here and I am only crying, so many tears that would fill the sea, so many screams that would wake up a city, so much fatigue so that the pain does not come. Raw, I raise my bleeding arm, I do not forgive life, now without skin I shake my fist uselessly. “I want to die but I can’t, and thinking about you seems to be a comfort, but it just keeps opening me up from the inside.”

The one who writes is none other than Federico Sturzenegger. The poem is titled “You have to be brave to love,” and he originally published it on the website of the Torcuato Di Tella University, where he studied and was a professor. There is also another one. “So many minutes in each minute, crazy and circular time like my thoughts, because in you everything ends and in you everything begins,” says the poem titled “Time.” It is another of the curious hobbies that the economist has, like his passion for “Star Wars”.
