Swathed

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , on January 31, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

outer world

 

when did it begin?
accidentally
reaching intelligence’s cul de sac
walking away with empty pockets
haven thrown all theories away
like burnt shreds of money
now dripping after
falling into a puddle of sensation
nothing belonging to me above or below
I foresee the outcome already –
a maddening silence
staring out the window
because the birds
are pretty.

sin

Posted in Poesía on January 28, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

Una nueva generación
de hormigueos y perezas
en mis labios

¿qué decir que no se haya dicho?

todo está tan quieto
la mesa con sus libros
la lámpara y la sombra debajo de la silla
reposando
dormitando
debajo de sus superficies mudas

empiezo a callar como estos objetos
atisbo que detrás de la apariencia
nada se esfuerza

imito el reloj
entre las pautas
de los segundos

no

no

estipula la mente
agitada

pero yo
ya estoy cruzando
el borde del secreto

el tiempo
se acuesta
como un llavero
sobre la mesa de noche

en ese voluminoso espacio

sin la proeza de existir

sin esfuerzo ni represión

sin propósito ni explicación…

lloro.

 

 

 

 

Poesía existencial

the only thing worth knowing

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , on January 27, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

I changed sides
of the road
walking
perhaps
to some ultimate
destination
I was wrong
it was only
another sidewalk
I had been
doing nothing
staring at letters
in books
without
knowing their meaning
the coffee got cold
I go for walks
when I get tired
of sitting.

I’d like to say
this is all true
but I only have
noise and vague memory
I have no idea
what I did
today.

un día más

Posted in poesia contemporanea with tags , , , , on January 25, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

un dia mas

Un día me levanté
hice el café
con taza en mano
abrí la ventana
el aire fresco
entró en los pulmones
me fijé al cielo
cerré la ventana
terminé el café
y me acosté de nuevo
no sé si para dormir
o para dejar de hacer
las cosas
que ya no
importan.

the world of men

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , on January 24, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

World of men

I cannot wait
to be in your teeth
ripped apart
in black disguise
by your plotted fangs
and crushing grand schemes
I can’t wait
to be flotsam
that nobody finds
in your sea of control
rotten planks
sinking into an insignificant
quiet disappearance
I cannot wait
a minute longer
to be fake rice
in your fields of expansion
never becoming
more than a spot
of white nothingness
amidst your supreme
everything .

the recipe of your life

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags on January 23, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

Recipe life

Hungry for reality?

3 cups of phenomena
1 stick of self
2 tb of boredom
1 dl of lethargy
1000 pinches of suffering (or to taste)

Stir thoroughly.
Bake for 6.5 decades (approx)
Let cool in a vacuous wait
Coat with thick layer of illusion.
Sprinkle with futile expectations.
Ready to serve.
Enjoy your creation!

 

 

De lo que sucede

Poesia blog

De lo que sucede
conozco poco.

Observo los rostros
como si salieran
de ellos mariposas
de un capullo.

Cuentan historias
de tragedias, muertes
y alegrías.

De todo esto
conozco poco.

Miro a un niño
lamiendo una luz dulce
entre sus dedos.

Un zumbido
de motor
cruza la avenida,
las mujeres ríen.

Espero
para entender.

Pero se levantan
árboles sin hojas
a un cielo
tallado con silencios.

Poco conozco
del por qué
ni cómo
ni dónde.

Casi, me digo.

En las selvas
deben haber
miles de insectos
hambrientos, comiéndose
unos a otros.

Bebo de un vaso
de agua tibia.

Debe haber un río
que corre
entre el alma
y el olvido.

Pero de esto
conozco
poco o nada.

Poesía Nihilista

of unknown reverberations

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , , , , on January 18, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

Unknown tree

gray ground
nestling
the little curvaceous
seeking self

a methodical
appraisal of the
unintelligible

empty fields
arising
an axiomatic love
of chaos
and labyrinth

light never
ages
but its image
traverses time

the tree was spotted
as the period
at the end
of a graceful sentence
that spoke of
a timeless seed

the eyes that were
given to me
eloped with darkness

an affair
of unknown
qualities
and reverberations.

Trying

that there

is nothing

stand.
