the great civilization

The Great Civilization

where’s the off switch
for all
endeavors

the icicle of reason
has melted
leaving a small puddle
of fictions
at my feet

and we will build
and build
assemble great systems
to the outer edge of the milky way
and back

the civilizations, the civilizations
with its civilians hooraying
     their democracies pushing
the sciences inventing
         the artworks embellishing
the museums and the highways accelerating
     the capital erecting
              the monuments
of the great laughter of achievement

while the black smoke of reality
swirls
into nothingness dreamt.

 

 

 

Nihilistic Poetry

playthings

oh in what manner
I touch
these playthings of the
soul
sculpting in torn blindness
the mode of the self
eliciting shapes
like a damp cloud
over the empire of uncertainty
am i this wisp
of creation
twisting and turning
emerging
painfully philosophically inadvertently
from the wreckage
of my
sadness?

 

 

I am an egoist

I am an egoist
the tides of the galaxies
are for my amusement alone
the backdrop of the world
is the stage for the drama
of my sadness
I have eternity as my own
reality-show
the concatenation of events
stroll before me as a parade
offered to a king…
but as a king
I still yearn for more
I look for the edge of existence
looking, as it were,
for something else
something not yet invented
lurking behind the world of things,
perhaps a mist
belonging to another reality
untouched by this world;

                a thin fog
I surmise,
                     of impossible bliss.

 

 

Nihilistic Poetry

nacer hoy

Street bottle

A veces
es
   más
fácil
negar todo
que empezar
     el día.

 Eso que lleva
     el nombre
de corazón
    no sana su sutura
esa herida que se me abrió
cuando choqué con la
         historia. 

Cómo se explica
la alegría
    de no entender
la vida.

En qué enciclopedia
 se encuentra
esta inocencia,
   la puerilidad
de haber
   nacido
          hoy!

 

Poesía Moderna

lessons in finesse

Taking a dump

A standstill collapse
     locked door

sneaking a peek
to glimpse the rotting fuel
tunneling down a pipe
these anchoritic pieces
of me
falling into the orgy
of
   classless waste
— a humming noise
coming from the wall

and
           the thought
that you’ll never leave
this toilet alive

why should i?

this could be my last
excretion

my masterpiece of unpremeditated
feces

the revelation of the kingdom
of heaven
precisely when my
fat butt cheeks
begin to contract
 for the final
plunge
(into the consciousness
of process and
       decay)

jesus lord the fetidness
now
the work of
cleaning the gorge

my hands
 gosh my hands
have mastered the crevice

SPOTLESSSSSS!

i stand, faucet, dry

Unlock
the world

return to the busy society
as another impeccable
glamour divinity
of the
human
race.

 

Modern Poetry

la cura

Drippings from the sky

Sí
    sí
sí
las palabras
y la vida me cansan;
la cura es no pensar más
y acostarse dentro del sueño
que alberga
las estrellas, el mito y la muerte;
paredes, pisos y ventanas de silencio
una noche tan sutilmente inconsciente
que a veces se me olvida
que hay una especie de mundo allí afuera,
a veces                   sueño
con poder dormir
en mi eternidad de blandura
    como sombra
         envuelta en
                          ocaso

 

 

Poesía y Nihilismo

busy living

reality hallway

No reality,
reality does not satisfy me
and it hasn’t tried hard enough
to sugar me up
I need alcohol
to soften the rough edges
of futility
I need chemicals
to inebriate the chemicals
of my brain
only then
reality
is reality
I can
surrender
to.
