of having given up

Posted in Poetry on March 9, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

I had a sense
meant for
flight

it has
failed
and
sunk
to the rock
smoke
and scream
of music

when we
are rats in a tunnel

I awoke

I had a sense
meant to eclipse
all the sadness

but it fell
into hell and
the one pleasure
of having renounced
hope.

 

 

Nihilistic Poetry

against art

Posted in Poetry with tags , , on March 2, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

nihilistic poetry

I am
aware
that I
have no
meaning

that all
words
are only
ineffective
abbreviations
of the infinite

that
my choices
are
irrelevant
to what
exists

I am
aware
this has
no significant
value

and all
art
is
powerless

against
a mystical
minute
of silence.

 

 

 

shapeless

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

 

 

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

 

 

 

nihilistic poetry

white on black

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , , , on February 23, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

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.

 

 

 

 

vag

Candle shape

The candle
opened up
its wax
like a vagina
Suddendly
releasing a continuous
flow of sperm
over its folded forms

I blew out the light
and all was quiet again.

 

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

to

under
stand

that there

is nothing

to

under
stand.

total truth

Posted in Poetry with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 9, 2012 by Pablo Saborio

The greatest liberation
came when I dropped
the pretension to happiness.
If was freedom from category,
from hope, from knowledge,
from purpose.
I immediately recognized
that reality has no meaning,
no destination, no description.
All happiness seemed trivial in its
relation to one condition or circumstance.
I preferred truth.
I did not find it in the philosophies, religions
and sciences.
The dawn of despair set in,
total and unequivocal,
but despite the existential ache that ensued,
it brought with its gloomy light the necessary
vision to initiate in truth:
the denial of all former values.
If existence was factually beyond
the reach of words,
it could not be grasped in recorded knowledge;
it could not be explained by the logical sequence
of premises and postulates;
if it had a truth, it needed to be
immediate and self-evident.
Truth cannot be imposed onto reality,
it would distort it otherwise.
Reality is the only truth –
and to discover what it is
I had to drop all attempts to define it…

merely become aware of it
and allow its transmutations
to speak its truth.
