And the poem demanded the food,
it drank up all the water,

beat me and took my money,
tore the faded clothes
off my back

L.A., Loiterings – 1. Convalescent home
Larry Levis

High on painkillers,
the old don’t hear
their bones hollering
anything tonight.
They turn
harmless and furry, licking
themselves good-bye

They are the small animals vanishing
at the road’s edge everywhere
I wound up believing in words the way a scientist
Believes in carbon, after death.

- Said Shaiye
Make a law so that the spine remembers wings
Larry Levis

So that the truant boy may go steady with the State,
So that in his spine a memory of wings
Will make his shoulders tense & bend
Like a thing already flown

Well, here is my favorite composer, Franz Liszt. This is "Gretchen's Theme" from his Faust Symphony.

Não, dizes-me Não. E eu não posso
dizer-te. A seta reenviada marca o sim.

Amor, se eu pudesse dizer amor. Esquece tudo
aquilo que sonhaste. Voa além da dor.

Saúz llorón
Juan Tablada

Romántico saúz, lloraste tanto
Que agobiado, en el río te reflejas
Como en tu propio llanto...
Pelícanos
Juan Tablada

Suicidas como los humanos,
Clavan los grandes picos en las rocas
Y se dejan morir los pelícanos.
Mariposa nocturna
Juan Tablada

Devuelve a la desnuda rama,
Nocturna mariposa,
Las hojas secas de tus alas.
El pavo real
Juan Tablada

Tus plumas-ojo
dibujan el paisaje
de la catástrofe.
El bambú
Juan Tablada

Crece com prisa
hacia el cielo, como quien
quiere escapar.
So much to say about Bent
