on the origin of things

origin_of_reality

There were no instructions
and everything had a gleam
with no in between.

Even for the mind
there was no concept
nothing to break off
from the rhythm
of nature’s
self-portrait.

There was no suffering
of a thousand of years
and the mountains
were idiots with hands
in the sky.

There were no rules
of proportion and
we were born
in the middle
of gray.

In the midst of howls,
the happy blood-stained
gesture, but there was no
relationship with being
and non-being.

We killed until
ethics was an abstract
form of tool. And language
built a house for
loneliness.

This was long ago.
When something came
to dance and we were its
feathers.

in a distance

phenomena

I’ve wondered
to know nothing.

Seeing
my sea
of conscious,
weave wasted waves
of experience
into hairdos of light.

I’ve wondered
of returning
to enormous view
and an amorous
climax of confusion.

I’ve wondered to drink
night from water,
in unabridged absence
of divisions,
without order ,
with rain ribboning
the eclipse of impulse.

I’ve wondered
to forget
the sounds and the signs,
to find a strange design.

I’ve wondered
to know again.

Spying new round volume,
phenomena impenetrable else
glitters like a city;

in a distance sleepless to remember.

hacerse nada

negro_haciendose_humo

La sangre brilla

y se
seca

como sombra.

Todo termina,
el remoto monasterio

de tantas
estrellas
y la arena.

Hemos aparecido pero ni
permanente es la luz
columpiando

como columna de humo
en nada y nada

pero un sueño
se viste de eventos
y gran sucesión de fundamentos.

Todo termina
otro eón arrugado en parpadeo,
mira el lenguaje

lanzar su
triste código de ideas.

La vista ha visto
tan poco que

es pequeño eructo
de puro finito.

¿Me oyes? Usted
que está tan atrás
tan arraigado en esqueleto
usted tan carne y alboroto,
balanceando el dolor
sobre el golfo de la pena.

¿Me escuchas? Todo
terminando escama de lira,
tanta mujer con clavos
haciendo lazos de luz
sobre la cruz.

La gota del caos.

Este mundo,

aquí.

Independiente, extraño
atravesando la memoria,
como un viento
inventando las ramas
de la vida.

Todo termina,
sin borde derramándose
sobre el negro

como una palabra
haciéndose piedra

y luego lento humo.

Poesía Contemporánea

A man walks into the store

A man walks into the store and buys a pack of smokes.
You see him leave and get into his car. Drives home and smokes one.

You’ll never see the man ever again. That’s how it goes.

But the next day you realize;

He was a man that once had a cat.

He had a theory about the universe,

and a tear that sat like an effigy
in the cubicle of his sad brown eye.

Contemporary Poetry

another age

The dichotomy of any echo,
and the complementary laughter
that stings the heaps of sad
like a muted ray of moonlight.
In the lungs an aurora fills,
nails the stars and releases a joy
that I feel breathing for labyrinth
& the sun has a vein
with the footpaths of June.
If all these years the veil
or unbinding a wall brick by brick
allowing essence to flower like a spiral,
I’ve been telling a tumbling few
of the essence tucked in the
foliage of the song, but who
waits with me for morning
for a Cluster of Sails to Seville,
for two centuries of warm
illiterate frenzy;
for nothing left, and
come back another age
to tell the world that its angry jaw
cannot transfigure our pile
of happy ash.
