Poesia de la muerte

Los cielos
son una marea
de lluvia
en total silencio
con un ave
despegando de un árbol
volando hacia una elevación
donde todo lo terrestre
es sueño cristalino
esta es la muerte
son noches puras
aguas en sinfonía
reflejos y perfección
de todo lo que fue
de todo lo que
sentí .

escapades

Bricks_Berlin_Germany

I sneak out
in the middle of the day
as a fugitive of conformity
I look around
searching for those
that wander solitarily
those poor souls
all alone
against the oppressive machine
of existence
then I separate myself
follow streets no one
follows
I look for long walls
like those of cemeteries
or abandoned factories
I tread their outer boundaries
bricks to infinity
protecting a mystery
that I must never invade
I return to words
the insufficient medium
life has me by my neck,
I am drunk with life
perceptibly drowning
in its fuel.

lo que viene

Hechos de Fuego Arte Moderno

me encontraba
seis
horas en el futuro
abriendo otra botella
esperando la señal
para poder atravesar
la tierra que sostiene
el peso, la silla y mi ser
esperando la palabra
que me transforme
en plomo sin masa
intocable
como un residuo
soñoliento
entre dos grises mundos,
miré a los ojos
de todos
con los que comparto
esta biografía vulgar
reímos
aun con toda la imperfección
que nos rodea…
reímos
como cuerpos de combustible
entre los hechos
hechos
de fuego.

divine white

Okay fornicators
we have or need
to go back to the light
the hard
colossal
pain
of white
don’t try
but
once there
we rest in peace.

somewhere in the noise

Noise Poem for Arvo Paart

there is a sound
that covers
less regions of
being
a frail ash
unique as the light
on a speck of illusion
it is the faithful motion
of a fingertip
softly caressing
like a pendulum
the lips of energy
intensely receptive
to every hair
brushing against the onrush
of time –
a pause
awaiting the decisive note
of a cycle
that starts here
and ends
in music.
 
 

(dedicated to Arvo Pärt)

21st Century Poetry

counting the ideals

Sleep Modern Poetry

Now that I have
a can of soup
I have been guaranteed
a few more lingering hours
perhaps days

 

my ambition is to do nothing
because everything is worthless
and by knowing this
I can stay peacefully alone in
the alcove of anonymity

 

my ideals
were a roll of bills
I accidentally found
on my way to sleep
unmarked and eager
to be poured into
the greedy hands of the city

 

I have spent them all
while meticulously counting
the days to my impending
poverty

 

now I have a can
of soup
and all the time in the world
to be
sound asleep.

Poesia Contemporanea

Entras en mi superficie
y con el lado filoso
de tu oscuridad
cortas en dos mi monotonía
sumerges dos dedos
en la épica de mi sangre
en tu boca
mi plasma se hace
leyenda ilógica
recoges mis huesos
los ocultas en tus regazos
como una broma prohibida
dibujas el aire
de mis pulmones
en un cielo sin azules
me asfixio
en la atmósfera
de tu travesura
luego, no dejas ni una sombra
para abrigarme
me preguntas
“viviremos”
y sigo aun
sin responderte.

arms to mornings

Posted in contemporary poetry on February 20, 2010 by Pablo Saborio

morning poetry

the arms are
stretched
hold me
great morning
the light is pure
the doors are open
my rectangles are artificial
your dimension has room
for one more Quixote
charge!
towards the white
puff of atoms
slow and immature
middle dark hour
I am the drunk
in your scorpion arms
let me sleep
in the absence
of all
purpose.

faking pleasure

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 20, 2010 by Pablo Saborio

political poetry

lands
boundary
relative to
infinity and vacuums
my passport to being
in a Rorschach bureaucracy
never mix philosophy
with politics
my motto even whilst
severely drunk
yet

 

I remain silent
don’t
can’t
defend any position

 

let me pretend with
you
that this system
has foundations

 

like the planet
earth
resting on top
of an endless accession
of turtles
till
the end
of
space

 

I see their
heads.

 

 

the 21st century

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 20, 2010 by Pablo Saborio

21st century poetry

the city
is
sun-spotted
the whale’s
eye
is full of sadness
brings to mind
the friend
inside the mirror
we only go to
the rooms
dense with smoke
I don’t wish
to bring this word
to the fore
but it seems
like we are
chasing obliteration
touching the chords
that sound of
rebellion
one though
that has given up
on plans
a seated moon
on three stars
a revolver with six
bullets
but no
trigger.
