Vera thinks she knows how to leave
Gone, one thinks, is the wind
when there's silence,
gone the thunder
with a traslucid sky,
gone the tears
with a modest smile,
gone the Devil
when there's a proud and boundless Sun.
But the wind sits deep in the ear
and ponders,
thunder becomes passion and spiral
chords to eyes,
and cries find their home in words
and whisper
Summer's most noble titan
is but a flare of evil's smile.
You used to be gone,
and you even knew how
to trick distance into sitting
between you and the World,
(cowly and loyal)
between you and Words,
(numbly and void)
between you
(blind and pure)
and those
who cherish you like their thumb
This morning, as every tick,
rounds itself, hand tied,
barely blind
barely naked
barely urged of splendor.
Walks along the street
resemble ghost bugs expecting a body,
expecting the touch, the friction
always born between
always torn among
us.
Your face emerges
from this burning woods of the day,
as a strange glow,
the subtle whisper of a throat
lost between the millions of Suns
flooding this very instant,
these very eyes of mine, trapped
in your sight,
in these strange ways of yours
of coming to my world
as if it was harmless,
as if this longing was bearable.
this morning has a strong presence,
almost bald, heavy
it lingers through the walls
as if water, clean,
eroding.
your name brings no comfort,
and this sudden urge to vanish
is your mark as you go by.
your body is no longer Desire,
your valleys no longer
a bed for the Sun.
to travel in you
is to choose extinction, to stitch
one's mouth willfully, happy
of never pronouncing your name again ,
of never screaming when you approach
relentless,
blind,
murderous.
no shelter at home,
no home at heart.
driven only by hunger,
by arms open at a distance,
by an immense mouth
swallowing steps, words and
the bitter sweat of the vigils
without you.
tics become needles,
my eyes become the receptacle
for time, for its passing.
in this form, trespassed,
it is hard to miss your presence:
the air itches, tears apart,
crumbles over
it is as if you
had the name of My Surroundings,
as if your hounds were
ever restless
chasing my shadow,
chasing this fragility of mine,
this futile wishes of my heart.
bursting in the back, eyes shivering,
chills dripping in the air, as if flies
foreseeing their death, went frantic.
you stare at me, deeply
recognizing yourself in my fear,
smiling at my panic,
fulfilled, whole.
I surrender, I yield
I know nothing of enduring,
no strong heart,
no wits in the eye or the voice.
letting go ... this is my manner
of permanence, my name
my border and limit.
I close my eyes then,
awaiting your claws,
your whispers, your hands
acknowledging thus
that I can never know
a different death
from the one
you can give me,
from the only thing
you can actually freely give.
a snake becomes your leg
your lips
its crawling is bearable,
I want suffocation,
I want a destiny
that is close, pleasant to touch.
all of you, lying there
fiercely open,
Hydra,
storm
sweet chanting of murderous children.
completely you, summoning
your endless offspring of little desires,
of little poisons,
of little You's.
I cannot help but to wait
surrounded
by your warm sulfurous breath,
by your hands
that tear upon reaching,
by your name
which protects me
as only the Devil could.
this dark bed,
this anguish of expecting,
it is you,
it is your way of arriving,
this is your entrance
and the misleading sensatio
pequeños todos
lloviendo sobre el patio, descalzos
inmersos
en su canto de hielos dulces
de fragiles roces
de ojos que se aferran,
enredados en espirales
de flores que aprietan
anacondas
que aprietan sus perfumes.
los niños hermosos
abren sus brazos, voladores
y reducen el universo
a cosa invisible
que cabe en un abrazo
y en un abrazo se consume.
la tarde arde sobre nosotros
como labios mordidos
en el beso del rencor,
la tarde se quema, placida
y nos esconde entre sus muslos
para protegernos.
hermosas miradas de niños,
hermosos juegos de mariposas
desprovistas de alas,
de relojes
que se abre
Had I slept some more,
had I drank this morning
complete, slow and unclear
I would now be a song,
the waking and fall of
a thousand flowers,
the joy of a bridge that sustains
life running from a flood.
Had this hands been slower
and my eyes open
as the mouth of Death while calling,
as the skin of a nurtured child,
this brief and abandoned body
would now have the memory,
would now have the words to summon you,
to implore your grace,
your fertile ways of painting
the houses with nights,
the bodies with invitations and hope.
To watch you is to walk
over a thousand cinnamon valleys,
among the transparent
Today it seems to me the past is more real than my present. It's a natural conclusion of preserving some certainties that the arrow of time has left, in a way, fixed in their place, even if only as pointers or symbols. The present's virtue is that certainties are mostly tangible, and that it poses the concrete possibility of the future.
The past, even if only constituted by symbols, is equally essential, as it never stops tumbling over the present, sometimes a timid lava, sometimes a thick mist, sometimes a simple reverberance that shivers in its medulla all of flesh's cores.
The present, filled as it seems according to the senses, has no c
I have been enjoying DA for the past years. I come here mostly to browse other peoples' art and, to the extent they permit this, to share their life as well.
Lately, I find that about 4 out of 5 watches I do are of women who draw fantasy art. Although I'm very aware that I do a disservice to their artwork by characterizing it in such a narrow way, this is how they post them, mostly. It's amazing how women artwork differs from mens' art.
I do confess I can't articulate the difference clearly, but it is always inevitably present (to me, at least) between lines in the deviation. Women have a very particular intuition of a subject, a very flui
It took me six months to realize how stupid my previous post was. This is me just posting something, if not equally stupid, at least equally meaningless.
Did I manage to surpass myself?
