Ícaro

II
C’est grâce aux astres nonpareils,
Qui tout au fond du ciel flamboient,
Que mes yeux consumés ne voient
Que des souvenirs de soleils.

Baudelaire, Les painte d'un Icare





Ícaro

I

Les amants des prostituées
Sont heureux, dispos et repus ;

Quant à moi, mes bras sont rompus
Pour avoir étreint des nuées.

Mad Girl's Love Song





I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)



The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.



I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)


God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.


I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)



I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Los besos comunicantes

(fragmento)


Un momento, señora, déjeme que le explique. Los poetas hablan del beso de las diosas, los tahúres del beso de la suerte, los lascivos del beso a la francesa, pero curiosamente nadie hace comentarios sobre el más virulento: ese beso que no conforme con transmitir amor, deseo, saliva, sudor, sangre, partículas de pollo y piezas de amalgama, comunica penurias y aflicciones ancestrales, de modo que al así besarse la pareja se funde en una comunión antigua, y cuando menos piensan ya beben de una lava que por siglos estuvo cocinándose. Quiero decir, señora, que hay besos que corroen las entrañas, que duelen como latigazos en la piel de Cristo, que se nos clavan en la carne hasta infectarnos cada molécula de sangre. Besos con llanto y restos de tortura, con heridas y pústulas, con hambre y ambición y lujuria ultraterrena, besos con todo el peso del Viejo Testamento.

Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berce mon coeur pour la vie

2:31 am


se apagan las luces,

no hay nada como la confidencia de una habitación oscura
los suspiros entre besos intoxicados, las caricias se saben a alcohol 
y los dedos con olor a tabaco, desesperados, se buscan.


luego,
luz y sabanas blancas.

el sol en verano



porque quererte era
el parque 
a las dos de la tarde,

era oler 
el pasto caliente
al sol,

y helados de mango;

quererte era
vestidos de verano
y trajes de baño,

era coca cola
con hielo,

con mucho hielo;

quererte era el sol
en verano

The Age of Silence



The first language humans had was gestures. There was nothing primitive about this language that flowed from people’s hands, nothing we say now that could not be said in the endless array of movements possible with the fine bones of the fingers and wrists. The gestures were complex and subtle, involving a delicacy of motion that has since been lost completely. 

During the Age of Silence, people communicated more, not less. Basic survival demanded that the hands were almost never still, and so it was only during sleep (and sometimes not even then) that people were not saying something or other. No distinction was made between the gestures of language and the gestures of life. The labor of building a house, say, or preparing a meal was no less an expression than making the sign for I love you or I feel serious. When a hand was used to shield one’s face when frightened by a loud noise something was being said, and when fingers were used to pick up what someone else had dropped something was being said; and even when the hands were at rest, that, too, was saying something. Naturally, there were misunderstandings. There were times when a finger might have been lifted to scratch a nose, and if casual eye contact was made with one’s lover just then, the lover might accidentally take it to be the gesture, not at all dissimilar, for Now I realize I was wrong to love you. These mistakes were heartbreaking. And yet, because people knew how easily they could happen, because they didn’t go round with the illusion that they understood perfectly the things other people said, they were used to interrupting each other to ask if they’d understood correctly. Sometimes these misunderstandings were even desirable, since they gave people a reason to say, Forgive me, I was only scratching my nose. Of course I know I’ve always been right to love you. Because of the frequency of these mistakes, over time the gesture for asking forgiveness evolved into the simplest form. Just to open your palm was to say: Forgive me."

"If at large gatherings or parties, or around people with whom you feel distant, your hands sometimes hang awkwardly at the ends of your arms – if you find yourself at a loss for what to do with them, overcome with sadness that comes when you recognize the foreignness of your own body – it’s because your hands remember a time when the division between mind and body, brain and heart, what’s inside and what’s outside, was so much less. It’s not that we’ve forgotten the language of gestures entirely. The habit of moving our hands while we speak is left over from it. Clapping, pointing, giving the thumbs-up, for example, is a way to remember how it feels to say nothing together. And at night, when it’s too dark to see, we find it necessary to gesture on each other’s bodies to make ourselves understood.”

The Genius of the crowd


                                                                                                         Charles Bukowski

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day

and the best at murder are those who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace

those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love

beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average

but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect

like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock

their finest art

7

Toco tu boca, con un dedo toco el borde de tu boca, voy dibujándola como si saliera de mi mano, como si por primera vez tu boca se entreabriera, y me basta cerrar los ojos para deshacerlo todo y recomenzar, hago nacer cada vez la boca que deseo, la boca que mi mano elige y te dibuja en la cara, una boca elegida entre todas, con soberana libertad elegida por mí para dibujarla con mi mano por tu cara, y que por un azar que no busco comprender coincide exactamente con tu boca que sonríe por debajo de la que mi mano te dibuja.

     Me miras, de cerca me miras, cada vez más de cerca y entonces jugamos al cíclope, nos miramos cada vez más de cerca y nuestros ojos se agrandan, se acercan entre sí, se superponen y los cíclopes se miran, respirando confundidos, las bocas se encuentran y luchan tibiamente, mordiéndose con los labios, apoyando apenas la lengua en los dientes, jugando en sus recintos donde un aire pesado va y viene con un perfume viejo y un silencio. Entonces mis manos buscan hundirse en tu pelo, acariciar lentamente la profundidad de tu pelo mientras nos besamos como si tuviéramos la boca llena de flores o de peces, de movimientos vivos, de fragancia oscura. Y si nos mordemos el dolor es dulce, y si nos ahogamos en un breve y terrible absorber simultáneo del aliento, esa instantánea muerte es bella. Y hay una sola saliva y un solo sabor a fruta madura, y yo te siento temblar contra mí como una luna en el agua.

Asma es Amor

Asma es amor
           Gonzalo Rojas


Más que por la A de amor estoy por la A
de asma, y me ahogo
de tu no aire, ábreme
alta mía única anclada ahí, no es bueno
el avión de palo en el que yaces con
vidrio y todo en esas tablas precipicias, adentro
de las que ya no estás, tu esbeltez
ya no está, tus grandes
pies hermosos, tu espinazo
de yegua de Faraón, y es tan difícil
este resuello, tú
me entiendes: asma
es amor.

never never

i used to listen a
bird outside
my window, 

he always 
sang
the saddest 
of love songs,

too sad 
to put in words,

too sad 
to sing along;

and in the end, he always
whispered 

"never, never"

Dear child

As The Sparrow
                                   Charles Bukowski


To give life you must take life,
and as our grief falls flat and hollow
upon the billion-blooded sea
I pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed
with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures
lengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes.
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow
did to you; I am old when it is fashionable to be
young; I cry when it is fashionable to laugh.
I hated you when it would have taken less courage
to love.
