fields of visions

fields_of_wheat

Long breadth
an afternoon
in the ebb to unknown
was braver ago
than this flow of impetus.

The endlessly ontological
thrust of here. In accordance to
some laws rooted in seed and smoke,
a dab of cosmos along the tracks
early in the familiar day.

Awake, awake and a consequence.
For here is the strength to lift
the poison of life and its powerless
perfume.

This body still nested
as soft dull, still, born, erosion.

Then, at that point,
I perceived that all around
me were fields, fields
of wheat and leaves.

I perceive the sun
as particle in
the lazy pulse
of the sea.

Then deep smaller
motion creating
the assemblage of hours.

To them as tight
as horizon, in the
feminine shadow of
sorrow.

 

 

Contemporary Poetry

la invisibilidad del mundo

nubosidad

 

Quiero quitarle al mundo su capacidad de piedra.
Amarrarle las alas y fugarme con la luz tibia
de un detalle. Siempre encontré este terreno
bastante invisible. Gris y buscando un frío
de fresca tristeza. Sintiéndome como una vela
apagada en una nocturna nada. Estos dientes
saben morder la idea. Con furia pero lenta
la misma desnuda invisibilidad del concepto.
Es ahora cuando quiero quitarle al mundo
su temblor de océano. Amarrar el fondo
del colibrí al barco que lleva mi edad. Ahí
está todo tan espejo que no deja rastro
como una música durmiéndose. Es hoy cuando
le quito al mundo su esqueleto de astros
para por fin derretir su vacío sobre mis ojos.

 

 

Poesía Contemporánea

I leave earth

earth_above_me

I leave land tonight.
Hawk to haw.
Tonight, I’ve landed.

Nothing but sound
that bleeds into the
night. Like vital ripple,
along the edges
of wind.

I leave.
Like simple army.
In eight or 8.

Afraid.
Of the air and the
antrum of galaxy.

I leave the earth
bruised with memory,
I cleave to dust
that is heavier
than the
truth.

I leave already
the toy of this
dance.

I leave paradise,
like a land above
neither.

My shudders.
I’ve selected the flowers
that collide and the weak
islands that are seen.

I must leave the leaves.

Like the people that love.

I must sail a modern flame of palms,
and act like a massacre of morality.

If pulley is confounded with plague
and the sky like a scream of a drunken
why.

I leave, grotto and volcano
and life as hour and dream.

I daaa.
an da.

I leave the earth of mirror
and marrow.

I rhyme a depth like
a prisoner of laugh.

I leave and tonight.
Sense and behold.

My mother, all alone,
against the door.

 

 

Contemporary Poetry

on a white couch

white_couch_poem

 

Poetry doesn’t prove a thing.
It disproves the authenticity of language,
the permanence of meaning and the
universality of reason. Suddenly,

I thought, on the couch, while
reading a history of Christianity. Christ!
what if that’s true. Dispensing order
the poet returns to a formulation
of disorder, a verbal approximation to
natural chaos. I thought,

while sinking in the couch. Silly
ruminations, I often say. But not
this time. I think I was on to some-
thing. Poetry as the last human act,
a summary of lived, thought, felt
experience, an attempt to crystallize
our plight in an image of poetic flight. I

thought, while slouching and setting
the book on the table. I wondered.
Have these architectural feats of language,
these monuments to image, any
lasting foundation other than soft voice?
That’s the question,

I pondered, while breathing deeply on
the white but dirty couch. What if this
coagulation of exasperation, these
swollen metaphors of pain, are merely
dissonant echoes drifting in the void?
I hypothesized,

while heavy on the couch. That is white
and somewhat stained.

Contemporary Poetry

verso miel

poeta_absurdo_amor

Quiebrasí lalenta piel.
¡Y pequemos pequeñas
antiguas alas delgadas
con placer! La tarde
se ha puesto azul
y la oscuridad es una
verde ventanita dejungla!
¡de lata! o ¡de frenesí!
Qué diferencia penetrar
la piedra si esta joven
en mis brazos es
capa de sol. La exquisita
cintura del silencio, siendo
nada oculto ni un monte,
ni un momento. Reinan
lasletras y son las 2
de la mañana, veinticuatro
de mayo, tejiendo
con garganta la tela
que esamor o temible niebla.
Dormiré con mujer
y perfil de gris extraño.
Quiebra así la lentapiel,
amada de verso miel.

Poesía Contemporánea

you.

truth

You.
And the world
is your shadow.
You pale like
the archeology
of a voice,
of a concept.
You.
Sleeping like
a classical representation
of philosophy.
You.
And the measurement
of the universe.
You
like a visible
collection of
fictions.
You, metaphysically
and verbally a
sign.
You the threads
of an octopus.
You.
My fundamental
posited
truth.
