Okay fornicators
we have or need
to go back to the light
the hard
colossal
pain
of white
don’t try
but
once there
we rest in peace.
Author: Pablo Saborio
somewhere in the noise
there is a sound
that covers
less regions of
being
a frail ash
unique as the light
on a speck of illusion
it is the faithful motion
of a fingertip
softly caressing
like a pendulum
the lips of energy
intensely receptive
to every hair
brushing against the onrush
of time –
a pause
awaiting the decisive note
of a cycle
that starts here
and ends
in music.

counting the ideals
Now that I have
a can of soup
I have been guaranteed
a few more lingering hours
perhaps days
a can of soup
I have been guaranteed
a few more lingering hours
perhaps days
my ambition is to do nothing
because everything is worthless
and by knowing this
I can stay peacefully alone in
the alcove of anonymity
because everything is worthless
and by knowing this
I can stay peacefully alone in
the alcove of anonymity
my ideals
were a roll of bills
I accidentally found
on my way to sleep
unmarked and eager
to be poured into
the greedy hands of the city
were a roll of bills
I accidentally found
on my way to sleep
unmarked and eager
to be poured into
the greedy hands of the city
I have spent them all
while meticulously counting
the days to my impending
poverty
while meticulously counting
the days to my impending
poverty
now I have a can
of soup
and all the time in the world
to be
sound asleep.
conspiraciones
Entras en mi superficie
y con el lado filoso
de tu oscuridad
cortas en dos mi monotonía
sumerges dos dedos
en la épica de mi sangre
en tu boca
mi plasma se hace
leyenda ilógica
recoges mis huesos
los ocultas en tus regazos
como una broma prohibida
dibujas el aire
de mis pulmones
en un cielo sin azules
me asfixio
en la atmósfera
de tu travesura
luego, no dejas ni una sombra
para abrigarme
me preguntas
“viviremos”
y sigo aun
sin responderte.
arms to mornings
the arms are
stretched
hold me
great morning
the light is pure
the doors are open
my rectangles are artificial
your dimension has room
for one more Quixote
charge!
towards the white
puff of atoms
slow and immature
middle dark hour
I am the drunk
in your scorpion arms
let me sleep
in the absence
of all
purpose.
faking pleasure
lands
boundary
relative to
infinity and vacuums
my passport to being
in a Rorschach bureaucracy
never mix philosophy
with politics
my motto even whilst
severely drunk
yet
I remain silent
don’t
can’t
defend any position
don’t
can’t
defend any position
let me pretend with
you
that this system
has foundations
you
that this system
has foundations
like the planet
earth
resting on top
of an endless accession
of turtles
till
the end
of
space

the 21st century
the city
is
sun-spotted
the whale’s
eye
is full of sadness
brings to mind
the friend
inside the mirror
we only go to
the rooms
dense with smoke
I don’t wish
to bring this word
to the fore
but it seems
like we are
chasing obliteration
touching the chords
that sound of
rebellion
one though
that has given up
on plans
a seated moon
on three stars
a revolver with six
bullets
but no
trigger.

flakes of self
this life
is a flight
that with increasing
accuracy I’ve been able
to determine
is nothing but a free fall
and the sensation of flying
is produced by the lucky fortuity
that there is nothing to crash into
in this way, we drift down
spiraling through fields
of emptiness
and nobody knows
when it will end
or if it should end at all
so I’ve started to snap off
little pieces of myself
and blow them into the dark
till one day
there will be thousands of flakes
erratically swaying
in an atmosphere
devoid of destiny

las cosas de ayer
Ayer me desperté
desesperado
a las orillas de un delirio
mi mano se extendió
atravesaba casas,
el parque de algún vecindario
luego cruzó ciudades
sobrepasó el copete
de un continente
y seguía su excursión
hasta llegar al sol
donde sintió una pelusa de fuego
y en terror se recogió
hasta llegar a mi costado
con olor a eternidad,
miré el mar de imprecisión
que me rodeaba
lentamente me arrastraba
con sus olas hechiceras
hasta terminar flotando
sin esfuerzo
sobre su superficie inconstante
mis cabellos cada vez más
húmedos
con el roce de sus aguas nocturnas
sostuve mi respiración
y en un parpadeo
de mis ojos lacrimosos
me sometí al descenso
a lo profundo
donde vi mi otra vida
como algo
inútil
e innecesario.

gutter thoughts
The
voluntary dissipation of time
eventless and motionless
decomposing
aging with the night
the loud blah of history
no goodie-goodie stuff
at the end of this line
the long fucking wait
the fucking article
‘the’
the real drunkard doesn’t have
words left to spill
slime, dust and comatose sleep
down
against any attempt
why try, answered the void
truth in a glass
and another glass
and another
another shortcut
to death.
