In this time when cold winter pushes on
trying to replace the slowly-paced fall
and not all the leaves are fallen and gone,
you sweet lady shouldn't have come at all.
I have no tools nor proper endeavour
to make front to this pressure in my heart
and this poetry; this work, this labour
seems doomed to its failure before its start.
Sweet little princess because you in me
but a shadow, a ghost that in past would
to you have meant something worthy, now see
and not the bursting love I, offer could.
Sweetheart, yellow hang the hands of the trees
and as you pass me by, I'll just look at the full blue sky
'cause somewhere in your chest my chance did freeze.
Lo que hace que la realidad sea más ancha, lo que patea el límite un poco más allá, lo que hace a la verdad algo DINÁMICO... Neología es, en extensión, lo nuevo. Pero no con intención rupturista: Es el crecimiento.

when i think of myself
I think of a city
with all its streets
and lies
and trembling dangers
I think of my own death
and my own deaths and my own day and night
I think of
little windows embed in the flat and unlevel'd surface of the floor
as mirrors
where the sky
sees its innermost and darkest reflections.
The traps that carry
through the watery night
to the deepness within.
To the the night within.
To the secret, to the
night in the night.
When I think of myself. And of the traps.

Beauty Love and Lust
Jaime y Trinidad iban contándonos de la vez aquella que a Jaime le dio neuritis del vestibular y andaba con vértigo, y no podía moverse para nada así que tenía que quedarse apoltronado en el sillón mientras ella le leía un libro.
Yo me pregunté si alguna vez tendría algo así. Veníamos de vuelta de la casa de los padres de Jaime a orillas del mar. Allá me preguntaba si alguna vez tendré algo así; pero esa pregunta es indisoluble de la otra: ¿alguna vez tendré con quién tener algo así? Todo parece un poco forzoso, porque en plena sinceridad, SÍ me he enamorado y SÍ me han amado y SÍ he tenido proyectos.
Pero parecen incapaces de durar. Quizá - a veces me intriga - es un rasgo de mi personalidad. Don't know. Lo que sí sé es que me acordé de este poema (el próximo (quiénsabecuándo en verdad) post, la traduzco, ahora me da flojera. Rifaré un premio al que adivine al autor):
Beauty Love and Lust
O please don’t get me wrongis not the field of lovewhere does my search belong,
Nor do i look for lustthat folly four – leaf’d clovewhich once found, never lasts;
What i want confused canbe with those fit dressingsbeauty imposes to man
But soon the sham is caught:shrivell’d by time’s pressings,that clothing comes to nought
No, love’s truly a fake, and certainly lustthough may at some point seem indeed as a mustvanishes in the sea of unforgetful,relentless, and passion-diminishing time;beauty as is proudly announced by its soundly chimestarts to decay into an agony as dreadfulas long it takes to finally turn its poor preyto an unimportant character to the play
Though this new individual may be made a foolreminiscent as he is, by the old toolseven older love has at its disposal(For no one is as naked, clueless and lostthan someone unladen of fairness last frost)And may be tempted by dirty proposaldirty lust has to offer and be no more free,It’s self evident that this man is not me
O no, they transit a mostly different fieldand go unheralded, the cravings I yield;for I do prefer what mediators needs notand truly sustains them both, lust and beauty;from which love’s not but a minor deputy,to lovers rage, one of the many in the lot.Perfection of the Bodies, that’s what I needTo no less – and there can’t be more – may I plead
For its self-contained sweet exact symmetryholds and keeps its own language and poetry.Not defined by the will of a few manylike sad beauty is, looks down on lower lustwhich often strikes the bar, to be fully cast,of an approving companion. If any,it holds alliance solely to Naturefrom which it truly excels and She takes venture.
Muscular symphonies whose silence is speechSovereign over man’s works that thee can’t reachYou’re not buried or born, but live in full nowthus unlike mortal love, slave to the hourpay no heed to time’s call, bitter and sournor have someone to report ‘bout when or howbecause you exist on yourself, on yourself fill’duncapturable by eye hunterly skill’d
undisputedly at first try thee get to claimthe sorry gaze that upon you sets its aimcaptive the soul on your utter perfection.Love can be in spite of all its endearmenthurdled by body and its mobile garment;You, unendowed with the need for affectionto the rhythm of your mean adjust your poiseand to own’s health drink your cup of rejoice
Arm, lovely lathed thighexpressive charming handhair billowing out high,
All a secret tongue speakcircumscribing thought-landsthat upon my mind leak
that the clockwork divinemechanic of movement,subtle poem of the line
is but an impressionof that very momenttotalness’ expression
intersects with our plane of lifeand with the sharpness of a knifeall this truth struck me;all eternity can be boundin an instant so short and soundwhen perfection can be,
for this harmony of forces needs no mirrorand its all-sufficience can’t be any clearerthan its simple unobservance of time’s will;it comes out from nowherethat being its grand powerand undisturbed by feel, writes with space’s quillits one-lined poem. When its magic is done,returns to eternity it came from, and is gone.
