Perdido, conscientemente
construyo el humo
en la atmósfera aleatoria,
he visto
la membrana voraz de lo bello
no hay compañía
en esta demasía trasversal –
no sabemos cómo existir,
en el difuso rumbo del lenguaje
hemos dejado los remos
a la deriva;
ahogado hoy o mañana
espío en fragmentos
solitario y
extraviado
los gestos del ocaso.
The unintelligibility of the hand
arbitrary and soft
the fingers of the lover
enough heat from the sun
a momentary window on my skin
an animal cry
born in every vein –
I’m trembling against the vastness
I’m already in the garden
wondering how these flowers
connect me to the beginning of life
I see your naked body
on the disquieted branch
I am splinter
striking the sky –
have you felt the insect
climbing simultaneously
our arms and forests…
the universe peacefully
on your breasts;
have we knitted our mysteries
with yellow fire
will we love in silence
observing the wild dance
of the worlds –
somewhere with closed eyes
our origin
a purpose incomprehensible
within
all formations and eruptions
your lips are asleep
an epoch
with the rain as memory
we die as children.
this raw piece of paper
in this nostalgia
I place existence
entirely as a dream
as the fragile body of
a newborn
reposing on the page
it is unique and vast
like plain confession of passion
this piece of paper is all
I have this very moment
a solitude of twilight
in the horizon manifest pain
I touch life
and the memory of it
escapes
like the smoke
of this flaming
piece of paper. . .
The throat is the key
long gullet of hope
rebel stomach for rage
my intestines atop destruction
they are the spies
of lies
the accomplices
of alcohol
suicide is salvation
in this state
the answer
is blue sky
empty of
heaven –
the true
mask
who do we kill?
always the last note
sour and eager
futile mote
of dust
and love
finally
an instant
before
I collapse.
Si algo quisiera resaltar
sería lo indómito
inquieto en la periferia
de esa lógica que es inminente
pero siempre accidental
de herramienta quedan palabras
para impresionismo de eclipse –
todo ineludiblemente acaba
y queda únicamente el moroso recuerdo
¿Por qué pretender?
dejo escrito lo somero,
la contradicción
¿Su función?
insinuarme de que vivo
y de paso, manifestar
que entiendo
la paradoja:
lo esencial
es lo que se esconde
detrás de la vida.
A man
Leaves a voice
On brume
That is of paper
To a solitary
Event or thing
He points
As a despondent relic
That must be remembered
Faintly
His hand
The veins asunder
The terror of leaving beauty
Lost in the madness
That collects
Arrant forgetfulness
A man lifts his voice
Clashing with the impossible
His thoughts already of cinder
Mist and silence
A poem remains
Obscurely reposing in the cupped
Hands of the transitory
One of many inanities of inspiration
At moments gaining strength
But ultimately to rest alongside the expended
There with the elapsing sum of experience
¿Qué siento?
La historia salvaje de mi locura
llorando ante el planeta
por la simple razón
de que olvido la inmensidad,
con mi voz espero tocar alguna raíz
la matriz del sueño
algún seno de leche astral;
plena espera y contradicción
con los seres que viven
en oscuridad
en muda comunicación
con lo que no entendemos
ni reconocemos –
es inanidad o mi sentimiento
el fundamento eterno de existir,
de existir como carne de nube,
como nombre de aire entre los negros vacíos.
The face was carved out
Of sound and motion
Vision was clay of river
Through ages and lives
His face was the platform
Of transforming secret –
I was a full body of beer
Reeking smell of hallucination
The concept of man
Was the rustling leaf beyond the window?
My friend and I
Seeping into the occult layers of perception
Like rats of laughter we followed the maze
Unabashed by the terrible condition
The flaky reality we were inventing
At 6am of a holiday retreat
As automaton, as passion
The nude words of the intoxicated
As free bullets
Hunting the lie
Of the self.
My madness began at seven
Beautiful ineluctable madness
The sun was over the horizon
In wide strokes of light
Painting my ribs: the trees
The fields were windows
Clear lucid germ of becoming
My skin was everywhere
Like an atmosphere of beams
My song was the sadness
The pain
The burden
The guilt
In that bath of purity
My mouth was full
Swelling with
The verb of awe
While the fragment is our fruit
the mild mind of the cloud
in the fields, the influence of greens
encapsulated by vast sense of earth,
all intermediary fog
my retreat
into the silent bowl
of the countryside.
No me queda otra
tenderte en la corriente
de mi lengua,
en la sílaba de mi carne:
tocas el sabor idiosincrático
de mi sustancia
debo deshacerte
como dulzura púrpura
entre los canales de mis papilas,
corre indómita como la
existencia salvaje
desciende como caos
al ombligo nocturno
de mi apetito
es sed
plenamente soledad
eres gota solitaria,
arraigadas en deseo
dos frutas:
una de piel
otra de arte
mis labios
espían el aire
son astronómicas puertas,
hacia el vacío caen tus obras
y soy presa instantánea
del contacto
laten agrias
tus nocivas pimientas –
en mi boca soy
receptor de lo que enseña
la doctrina indiscutible
del vino.
