HOW WOULD I LIKE…

How would I like that you come with me.

I have this feeling that you shall love it and I shall love it.

Among the forbidden,

you among me among you.

How would I like to make you come with me?

To make you feel the sun as spotlights flashes penetrating you,

The sun in your skin sown by mountains of the Tepozteco*,

Hard, erect, firm, with its mysteries,

aggressions,

greens,

and heavy showers of liquid flowing from passion

while thunders roar.

Fire, matches, your teeth biting mine soul

that runs climbing as the moon

and its ascending attraction.

*Tepozteco.- Mexican hill in magical old town Tepoztlan.

SHE-DEVIL & HE-FIRE

She-devil & he-fire

do not repel, they are attracted.

An obstructing energy,

incense of magnetism,

flashes yellow sparks.

They are crowned by blackness,

she-devil & he-fire.

Darkness glows shiny.

He-fire inflames she-devil’s sheets,

oh, she will give him more.

Without quarrels they burn, they scorch.

She-devil frightens.

He-fire runs.

Encounters in circles

and the flame shows excited

its exploding fireworks.

SEPARATION

As an eternal night…

entangled with the mutilated moon

in a solar eclipse labyrinth;

as a drop of water from the Death Sea

pawned in giving a little fish a tiny drink;

as a scalded tongue until bloody

by nicotine, unable to talk;

as a veil, a transparency gauze,

trying to cover darkness;

as an irreconcilable grapefruit juice

and glacial snow from some volcano;

as that our relationship has been.

And much better we are as the poinsettia…

only torn apart it reddens

to flower.

ORPHAN

Orphan of tactile love…

Wet eyelashes, soaked,

solitudes are asphyxiated

by torn sheets of red lipstick

in my slashed mouth; kindred

with this my so not touched skin

but by the brush of these sheets…

once again satin lovers.

Revolved amidst torn clothes,

thy threads behead my anxiety.

Hanged, asphyxiated, beheaded,

mine eyes roll, my neck cracks.

The shreds are hanging my tears.

The sighs sing my deadly rattle.

NORMAL

I come back to earth carrying distance to return to it as fast as possible.

Maybe I should adopt a “mature”, “resigned”, “cynic” attitude, the attitude of giving up in front of reality. Firmly enough observe madness, injustice, criminal human nature, with the spectator’s eye. Coldly enough accept the outrageous worldwide reality AS NORMAL. Leave aside any feeling and become aware of every shock caused by circumstances… AS NORMAL. To extinguish any harm and to understand the exploitation of man by man, of nature by man, of life by man AS NORMAL!

a swindle AS NORMAL

an assault AS NORMAL

a fraud AS NORMAL

misery AS NORMAL

war AS NORMAL

hunger, starvation AS NORMAL

agony AS NORMAL

massacre AS NORMAL

genital mutilation AS NORMAL

machismo AS NORMAL

oppression AS NORMAL

racism AS NORMAL

betrayal AS NORMAL

offense AS NORMAL

humiliation AS NORMAL

robbery, violation, rape, infringement

AS NORMAL, AS NORMAL, AS NORMAL, AS NORMAL.

Ay! Now I breath.

I finally realize

my stupid no adaptation,

imbecile intolerance,

vein denunciation,

egotistic anguish,

silly rebelliousness,

absurd idealism,

bad dreamed utopia,

incongruous humanization!
What a waste of energy
when the world

has always been

AS NORMAL.

Ay! Another sigh.

One more time, ay!

Flying over the intersection of Time Line with Equator,
Heading Tropic of Cancer, leaving South Capricornia’s,
( - Wow! Some inventions of imagination!
- Oh, sorry, sorry! It is AS NORMAL. )

I land, without wishing it,
in such History AS NORMAL.

No more shouts
no more cries
no words
not a charm
‘cause everything
has been reduced

AS NORMAL.

ECSTASY

Ecstasy of the endless kiss
melted your lips into my lips:
humid orgasmic cadence,
infinite brightened darkness,
overflowing and mortal pleasure,
soft howling plea,
irrepressible exceeded limits,
aphrodisiac lubricant slowness,
fortunate madness,
delirious torment,
hedonist vortex,
sybarite joy,
sexual blessing.
