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

CÁNTICO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Una sola rosa roja 
         un florero de cristal 

Una sonata para piano 
         agua de manantial 

Un tesoro—la luz del sol
        en broches y eslabones de oro

Una fuente callada 
        un patio interior 

Una puerta en la muralla 
        una madreselva en flor 

Nubes sobre la montaña 
        la cantilena de un ruiseñor  

Una ráfaga sobre un pozo 
        profundo y oscuro… 
                                 trueno lejano  

Un misterio—y en ausencia       
        un misterio desolador  

Raudal de blancura vacía
        silencio torrencial 

Deslumbrante resplandor 
        catarata de soledad 

Una sombra luminosa 
       una silueta en el umbral  
 
Eres mi huésped de cuerpo y alma  
       una vela en el altar

SONG FOR A ROCK GROUP


I look at you,
You look at me—
You with the eyes of an angel, a demon,
What do you see? 

You take my hand—
Is it for real?
All of a sudden I’m falling, I’m flying—
What do you feel?  

I say “Hello,”
You sing the refrain
Of a song that says things that I don’t understand—
What does it mean?  

CHORUS:
I lie awake all night
Thinking of you,
Go around in a daze all day,
Don’t know what to do.
When will I see you again?
Will it be today?
Sometimes you seem to be
So far away.
Sometimes I think I’ll never know
What you mean to say.

UN ASCETA


                    (Mt. 10:38, 16:24)


Gracias te doy, mi Dios, por esta cruz,

relámpago que en mi pecho enterrado
me ha llenado de una luz interior,

dardo que en mi corazón hundido
ha encendido ahí un radiante dolor.

Y gracias por el fuego en el que yo ardo,
rosas las llamas son, y el humo espinas.

Gracias por el madero, la viga áspera y dura
que por la vía dolorosa de esta vida

arrastro—Gracias por la esencia pura
que rezuman mis llagas: mirra, nardo,    

incienso de punzante olor, fragancia divina
que destila cada gota de sangre que derramo…

Y por los clavos que me esperan, ¡gracias mil!
¡Mías sean las penas, la gloria sea tuya!

No me las quites nunca, aunque no me las merezca:
La ligereza, mi desnudez después de tal despojo,
