Something was so much earth
we named it life
and words so much wind
we made them
dust and arrows
to kill the silent
joy of trembling
and flower.

desde una estrella
El mundo se ha hecho invisible
y lo veía venir.
Por eso he dejado esta nota
flotando en el aire.
Y no se asusten,
que fue mi intención
quedar en péndulo
cuando me ahorqué
con una soga
atada desde la esfera
de una antigua estrella.
Poesía Contemporánea
for voyages
Descend aloud
into the art
of the thing,
before words with
enormous arms
bind us to awful
regions of totality
be unique
alone afraid
as the shiver of
twig, partly
shaded by
the inexact locus
of the clouds
rest in the dominion
of a figure,
aslant and radiant
like a candle
in its own silent
culture
adduce nothing
and the inner light
makes a thorn
to thunder upon
the dark innocence
of sensation
look below
as the summits
know little of
our wounds we
use as vehicles
for voyages that take
place behind
the language of order.

allness
Here in my face
I feel gravity
when light and darkness
are only found in
two eyes that brush
with memory the
portrait of movement
what am I to do
when language’s gone
astray
smashing against
a window like a dumb
bird
we discovered
that the only thing
in heaven are rocks
and columns of gas
that the soul is
an inaudible whisper
returning to nameless,
to a wind to a wave
little man, I hear the elements say:
logic swallowed the world
and reason spat out an abstraction
so, little man, let’s start over
with a new skin around language
caressing the river of change
as only the surface of infinite
dip before death your body
in emptiness
O manifold, never compare
abandon the mistake of identifying
body with body and mind with mind
rather cling to miracle as petals
do to their perfume
and drop judgment like a stone
thru the air and little man
open the mouth the eye and your
bouquet of fingers in the madness
that moves worlds as auras
around the light of stars
fast, construct a minute that is
young fountain and invent a word
that will finally deflower infinity
little man – I hear a voice from all
elements strangling me with all
greenness that is a red orchestra
conducting as a blue cloud
the dance of the night around itself
allness allness
I have a face and it is a seed
at the threshold about to cleave root
in the manifestation of music
so profound
that it enters an orbit
around the love of everything

en busca del otro
Hay un incendio negro,
las llamas dan dolor
porque son lenguas
con filo de sombra
hablo de la muerte,
lo que encierra la vida
entre el humo y tanta ceniza
soy el único que cruza
la calle y grita
con ojos alarmados:
no puedo más –
anoche vi un joven
pantalones tallados, mochilero
pelo largo y una
mirada extraviada
sus ojos eran cristales,
grandes lupas adivinando
la distancia entre todas
las cosas
estaba drogado, solo
en una esquina de
Christania
es valiente, pensé
un verdadero poeta sin rumbo
disipando la experiencia
en canales de trance y color,
pequeñas escenas
de sabidurías centelleantes
empecé contando de la muerte
y ahora de un joven
que acepta la muerte
como se acepta la luz del alba
lo voy a ir a buscar,
ese poeta que ve la poesía
y nunca la escribe
voy a buscar
ese aventurero
que sabe de la muerte
y descansa tranquilo
bajo una sombra de árbol
voy a hablarle
y decirle,
tomémonos unos tragos
y alejémonos de los muros
que en vano esconden
el misterio
llévame, le diré,
al refugio de tu silencio
y miremos como
esta vida es una
profunda caída
sin recuerdo.
