concealed in prayers tanka

body parts  throughout the city--  houses  that have no walls... monotheist & atheist concealed in prayers

haiku

lovesick summer... the perfect setting  for a song enfermo de amor... perfecto escenario para una canción

haiku despierto por el viento

Image
despierto por el viento... el libro de las horas* *Rilke  awakened  by a breeze...  the book of hours *   *Rainer Maria Rilke - celebrating his birth and art

gestures tanka

a child is born, is he fed he has a bed, but is it free of fog         gestures

criminal minds tanka

criminal minds— nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable* ... the tortured turn into torturers *Shakespeare 

Somonka: stop the sale of weapons

what does it take to let go of prayer... a walk into love without looking at the rain flooding your heart what does it mean to melt the mind with fear, to bury weapons before our hearts go faint and our legs  wet with urine?

smack me with the truth tanka

smack me with the truth... I'm leaving there's nothing to forgive let it go

Frente al Mar

Image
Frente al Mar Estoy perlada de noches musicales, acordes de viola que no cupieron en el suelo arenoso de tu playa. El crepĆŗsculo me hace huir con labios resecos hacĆ­a el oblicuo ombligo del tiempo, tiemblo repleta de amores paridos con el mĆ”s agudo grito, casi sin aire, tiemblo. La mar, mi hermana, bate sus olas sobre mis pechos, me saluda su roció matinal, soy cĆ”ntaro de uvas marinas.  Amor, vierte tus encantos dentro de mi boca para esparcirme igual que tu sobre una ola. No busco orilla, mĆ”s bien busco el sosiego de haber sido huella de coral vivo en tu Ćŗltimo ocaso. Traigo sobre mi espalda la mĆ”s reciente lluvia y el aire libre de mi hermana Julia batiĆ©ndose con olas gigantes frente al mar.  Triunfando, siempre triunfando.

I'm jealous of the bed where I don't lie with you... the hands that travel through your skin— shipwrecked 

what is faith tanka

what is faith that does not doubt— death, insomnia of shadows?

friends say tanka

friends say you have a new lover I'm not  the one you're taking home... broken bottles on the dance floor

we die tanka

Image
we die  without  saving the world … find beauty in the remnants of dead butterflies

before the mirror haiku

naked...  before the mirror a thousand sorrows

predicting a sƩance tanka

you idiot the impression I get is that you’re leaving me… loving you is like predicting a sĆ©ance

unrepeatable night tanka

I want tell the stars about the silent tears hidden behind the doors of this lifetime— unrepeatable night with you

el amor haiku

el amor  te crema,  que quieres de el— entrĆ©gate

haiku el olvido

el olvido … una huella en la arena de tu cuerpo
