shapeless

Posted in Poetry with tags on February 29, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

 

It’s
all
black
and it is
spinning

the creature
is trembling
in the nook
of an illusion

shunning away
from the blaze
of stimulus

distrustful
of the cause
and the effect

we are the contraction

shriveling
to a singular
point of
fear

 

 

desvío

Pintura y poesia

Lo que es
cortar
los vínculos
del tiempo

soñar
pero sin
movimiento
alguno

es un roce
eterno
con el silencio

y
como gota
secándose

olvidar el ímpetu
de existir.

another day being something else

subjective poet 2012Half
the sky
in my laugh
shattered
into myriad
flakes
of clustering
snow

the white
concentrations
like palpitations
of the cloud
coming from
a vaguely symphonic
summit

where they touch
and perish
my drops
of comic
hours

I am a cosmic
view
behind the windows
longing
the cold
touch of something
external

color

poesia color

Del
rojo
extraigo la razón
de mi fe

del coriáceo
carmín
deduzco
la invisible
transparencia
del misterio

en su símbolo
el color
rebota
de la dimensión
a la realidad

y moriré
en pleno
acto
de un oscuro
a una
luz.

white on black

an octave
higher
to rest
in a mute
miracle

in the lapse
of that
quietude

vibrating
in stillness

in a chord -
the infant
history
of
ecstasy

 

 

nihilistic poetry

against the buddha

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , , on February 22, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

buddhahood lights

banging
my head
against
rock hard
reality

my bottles
of beer are
empty
and
my mind
full of
quack

unattainable
unreachable
undefinable
unutterable
unknowable
unrealistic

Buddhahood

the rain droplets
on the window pane
are particularly
quiet

alas.

 

 

 

 

distillation

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , , on February 20, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

poetry distillation

the shape of your neck
wrestling with my focus

I could have smiled
and twirled a spoon
in my coffee
to taste the dimensions
of your spiraling
lips

I’ve wondered
how your body
would resist
being against a window
freezing like dew
in the dawn

all that we study
to forget
the longitude
of an instant

laughter
- yours -
dripping
from above
and there is no
sky here

let’s repose
and dissolve
like heat
ripples
from a distance

over
an unfamiliar
path.

nihilistic poetry

al lado de las cosas

Posted in poesia contemporanea with tags , , , , on February 19, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

al lado de las cosas

casi
quedo acostado
en la acera

porque si
ahí
me duermo
dormiría para siempre

recordando los pasos
anónimos
de todas las épocas

resucitando la lluvia
y la sombra
que alguna vez
cayó en esta
acera

porque si
ya estoy cansado
de ser función
podría ahora
reposar

como una cáscara
de banano
sobre el pavimento

o goma de mascar
sin más sabor

callado estaría
sin estorbar
en un óvulo
negro y plano
sobre esta
acera.

a stroll

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags on February 18, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

flux

I saw it
and
I knew

my heart
was laying
there
on the
streets

I came closer
and studied
it

it was half
an apple
no bites
not even a nibble

and in it
was all
that I call
my heart

what is the meaning of life
asked a kid
as he pulled on
my sleeve

nothing is what it seems
I said

I left the
half-apple
behind
uncertain of
where it will end

it’s
strange
as it
is

to find
my essence
in such a
trivial object
standing still
amongst all
the flux

so I walked
away
not caring
of the consequence
of caring
too little about
what consequences
are

whatever
that means.

 

 

 

of whatness

Posted in contemporary poetry with tags , , , , , , , , on February 16, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

piece of truth

what
was
it

this
fable
of deformities

life

when all
thought
is of the size
of a grain
of rice

and you shave
to feel the snow
on your cheeks

clueless

of how you
indefatigably
will love
the next
occurrence

in this
fable
of ideal
encounters
with something
real.
