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

LASTRE QUE SE ECHÓ

Hace aguas la tarde,

gota a gota.

 

                                                                                                                  Gasas       

 

                                                               Siento un cuchillo de hielo,

                                                               un témpano.

 

Derrame de sangre que se riega,

que riela

 

                                                                                                                   Alumbre

 

El sol araña

entre jarcias eléctricas 

                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                   Reverbero

                                                                                                                   sobre los       

                                                                                                                   estribos                                                                                                                                                 

 

Una boca vidriosa babosea                                                                 

suero y cartílago

 

                                                                  Ha salido una bruma.

                                                                  No veo nada.

 

desde un paralaje de eclipse y zozobra,

hacia un horizonte de aluminio

y ceniza

 

                                                                                                                     Suero                                                                                                    

 

y cartílago

 

                                                                   No veo,

                                                                    no

 

Lastre que se echó

asíntota a la ventura

cae sordamente

y desaparece
