El Ritual Matutino de Claudio

Claudio desayunaba cada mañana en la misma mesa de su estancia, junto a la ventana que daba al jardín. Aquel martes, mientras removía el café con una cucharilla de plata heredada, observó cómo la luz atravesaba el vapor del pocillo, proyectando sombras tenues sobre la porcelana. Su rutina era casi ceremonial: primero el café, luego las tostadas con mermelada de ciruela, y finalmente, la lectura de poesía en francés antiguo. Reparó entonces en que una mariposa había entrado por la rendija de la puerta y revoloteaba cerca del techo, ajena a su presencia. Claudio sonrió con esa complacencia que solo el observador meticuloso experimenta ante lo inesperado. Dejó la taza intacta y siguió el vuelo del insecto, abandonando por primera vez en años su ritual inviolable.
