¿Dónde está mi ambición?

Ambitions_Acrylic_Painting_Detail

estoy enfermo
dedos tiesos
como tarántula momificada,
el brazo extendido
un puente de la cama
al inaccesible vacío
a mi izquierda,
en soga
una flota de pelo
el polo septentrional
de mi cuerpo
esa masa resignada fútil endeble deleznable
flotando yo absolutamente
como sustancia inclasificable
sobre la región
donde el humo
y la muerte
se mezclan incesantemente
como los años y las mentiras

 

las repúblicas de mis verdades
vencidas
sin banderas ni gloria.

 
 
 

 

 

poesía moderna

neon break

Neon Yellow Beer Morning

This wide open
sky
an echoed moon
on barely born hours
my couch
sitting watching
half moon, half
sky
half azure
half self –
light advances
neon
on surfaces
gilded by miracle
this pure instant
when no one
is watching.

at risk

Drunk Nihilistic Poet

I had to be prepared for anything,
I knew well my predicament
of being the embodiment of some rebellion
without a cause, or possibly,
a very vague one,
I was set to play this role
till the curtain of my life
would set and finally be able to rest
from such a demanding performance;
nonetheless, I had to be prepared for anything
this urgency to be sporadic, risky and insane
would take me tonight into another dark alley
another hidden hour in the middle of the night,
wherever I would end, I had to be ready
since I had no choice
but to follow through with the command
of fate,
even while I see the strings over my head
puppeteering me to go here or do that
I cannot resist
for the strength of the strings is greater
than my awareness of them,
so I bid farewell
I leave into the end of the night,
as you could say,
to the disfigured events of nighttime
the ghastly stars
the only witnesses
to my rampant
behavior.

 


contemporary poetry

accidentes extraordinarios

Sky of Indigo

Hoy vi
el cielo
vestirse en índigo
nube y granizo
simultáneamente
sus murmullos
entraron en mi
como una espada
hecha de existencia
desangré en asombro
inventando aleluyas
para mi transparencia
por la cual veía
el contenido frágil
con el que se
llenan los días
tiré mi escudo
en rodillas
me declaré perdedor
cautivo
de lo efímero.

poesía siglo XXI

I must be mad

Everything you do
begins with a silence

you can traverse
the distances
that keep you away
from the divine
but you look back
and the starting point
is blurred
I have been pilgrimage
traveled far,
but
in relation to what?

all is opinion
the poet is a collector
of fragments
the pieces of modernity
scattered mercilessly
over the ruins of decay

the theory emerges
the broken data
a human heart
halfway down the
spear
I threw to infinity

an attempt to coexist
with the rational
and the irrational

landscapes of words
not yet
conceived

I give you the stars
for the constellations
you’ll hang
over the lake
of your
core.

 

 

nihilistic poetry

conflictos

Evento
pincel sobre
la masa deforme
del pensamiento
entre la una
y las dos
robé una hora rosa,
dos minutos
y mi vida cae
en impresionismo
de resina
pesada y negra,
un minuto
campo de guerra
no doy basto
termíname
este poema,
mis ojos
ya son desmayos
asfixiados
en demasiado hoy.

Prosopopoeia

My creator
has abandoned me
the hands that spun these
verses
are now caressing
night axioms and
mysticisms,
the poet left
me
a poem
sunken
somewhere lost
in the motions
of the automatic world,
I am the victim
a spirit
that occupies briefly
whatever soul
treads these words
but, alas
ultimately doomed
to perish
as your
eyes
approach
my final
sigh.

nihilistic poetry

últimas luces

Los cielos
son una marea
de lluvia
en total silencio
con un ave
despegando de un árbol
volando hacia una elevación
donde todo lo terrestre
es sueño cristalino
esta es la muerte
son noches puras
aguas en sinfonía
reflejos y perfección
de todo lo que fue
de todo lo que
sentí .

 

 

 

poesía contemporánea

escapades

Bricks_Berlin_Germany

I sneak out
in the middle of the day
as a fugitive of conformity
I look around
searching for those
that wander solitarily
those poor souls
all alone
against the oppressive machine
of existence
then I separate myself
follow streets no one
follows
I look for long walls
like those of cemeteries
or abandoned factories
I tread their outer boundaries
bricks to infinity
protecting a mystery
that I must never invade
I return to words
the insufficient medium
life has me by my neck,
I am drunk with life
perceptibly drowning
in its fuel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

21st century poetry

 

lo que viene

Hechos de Fuego Arte Moderno

me encontraba
seis
horas en el futuro
abriendo otra botella
esperando la señal
para poder atravesar
la tierra que sostiene
el peso, la silla y mi ser
esperando la palabra
que me transforme
en plomo sin masa
intocable
como un residuo
soñoliento
entre dos grises mundos,
miré a los ojos
de todos
con los que comparto
esta biografía vulgar
reímos
aun con toda la imperfección
que nos rodea…
reímos
como cuerpos de combustible
entre los hechos
hechos
de fuego.
