Adobo Criollo Sergio Antonio Ortiz Rivera

nuestro beso es manantial de vida copa llena

luna azul el arrullo del búho

te pienso desde el desierto más húmedo la ola más silenciosa que agita este agosto agoto así este día de nubes dejando atrás mi piel … se que no me esperas 

belonging is like a circle without  boundaries...  alone yet tied together

the heat makes my brain blank out my sister is inching her way into my heart hope to see you soon Priscila

lloré como un bebe solté leguas de congoja volando a solas al Sur

love  is like a dying ember only  memories remain blue eyes crying in the rain

I cried like a little boy unmoor leagues of heartache... flying solo into Africa

mirrors  shadows and dreams-- what will we do when we get really old, walk down the same road?

chimeras lose their bridges-- a trickle of light seduced me in the jungle

loss of memory  unending afternoons  of solitaire  no house to call  my own

I played that old upright piano from fear to fear when love was a young man caressing my face at daybreak

last night  our bodies were as busy as a silk kimono meteors fell  into the pond full of koi 

nodding to a song from my adolescence I stare over his shoulder drained of salt and dust

I hope the leaves  don't touch your body  when they fall so you can't turn  them into glass  I hope the rain falling on your body like agile ghosts sets the earth on fire, kisses your footsteps

one way of getting old listening to the same songs sleepwalking  through the stupor of a surrendered existence

she’s mourning her husband’s death so much apprehension so little knowledge holding a vesseled shadow

date la vuelta que voy a violarme seré tu pene seré el sexo de tu alma tu alma escondida detrás de las nubes seré las nubes seré las nubes disimulando la lluvia   seré la lluvia seré la lluvia de tu recuerdo seré el recuerdo el recuerdo de tus brazos seré seré tu baile el baile de tu cintura seré tu cintura seré seré el saxofón aquel que ya no oigo
