Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the Fair Use protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

ANOCHECER


 

Suben las sombras.     Lilas diáfanas

anegan la calle.

                              Un carro pasa.

En una esquina tres niños pelean,

lanzándose piedras.

                                     Alguien les grita,

y ellos se alejan.

                                Una por una

se encienden las luces de las casas.

Sale la luna.

                         Un perro ladra.

 

Silencio súbito—y el rumor sordo

del más íntimo latido

del corazón del vasto mundo.

 

Ahora,

sobre mi cabeza,

arriba, sobre los tejados,               

fuera de las murallas, al otro lado

de las montañas, más allá del mar,

desdobla la noche universal          

sus pétalos negros, aterciopelados

al son de una inmensa campana.
