Rechazó primero la boquita picada de abeja de Mae Murray la viuda alegre de Von Stroheim y luego la boca inmensamente ancha de Joan Crawford, pintada como un temible ingreso al infierno del sexo, quedándose con los labios delgados, sin pintura, que acentuaban la escultura gótica de la cabeza de Laura Díaz, descendiente de renanos y canarios, montañeses y murcianos, apostándolo todo a la belleza de los ojos, los ojos de un color castaño casi dorado, verdoso al atardecer, plateado en el orgasmo de ojos abiertos que le exigía Jorge Maura, me corro con tu mirada, Laura mi amor, déjame ver tus ojos abiertos cuando me vengo, me excitan tus ojos, y era cierto, los sexos no son bellos, son incluso grotescos, le dice Laura Díaz a su espejo esta mañana de agosto de 1970, lo que nos excita es la mirada, es la piel, es el reflejo del sexo en la mirada ardiente y la piel dulce lo que nos acerca a la maraña inevitable del sexo, la guarida del gran arácnido del placer y de la muerte…
