UNTIMELY MEDITATIONS<br />
The fiery sun of my passions evaporates the love lakes of my soul, clouds my thoughts and rains you into existence. As I take flights on bolts of lightning. Claiming chaos as my concubine and you as my me. I of the storm. You of the sea. We of the moon. Land of the free. What have I done to deserve this? Am I happy?</p>
<p>MEDITACIONES INTEMPESTIVAS<br />
El flamígero sol de mis pasiones evapora los amorosos lagos de mi alma, nubla mis pensamientos y llueve tu existir. Al emprender vuelos sobre relámpagos. Reivindicando el caos como mi concubina, y a tí como mi yo. Yo de la tormenta. Tú del mar. Nosotros de la luna. Patria de los libres. ¿Qué he hecho para merecer esto?¿Soy felíz?</p>

Son como un susurro en medio del estruendo.  Inlcuí dos traducciones de Ernesto Jr. y una mía (no oficial y sin permiso), espero que les gusten: </p>
<p><strong>20</strong></p>
<p><strong>Amnesia<br />
</strong><br />
Sintió de repente<br />
que veia las cosas<br />
como un recién llegado<br />
a un pais extrano,<br />
que todo lo mira<br />
con los ojos nuevos<br />
de un recién nacido.</p>
<p>Su vida pasada y su identidad<br />
las habia olvidado, y sin recuerdos<br />
se habia quedado.</p>
<p>Las calles, las casas, la gente<br />
que veía por donde pasaba<br />
eran todas de un mundo<br />
recién descubierto.</p>
<p>Sus ojos miraban las cosas<br />
como una cámara cinematográfica<br />
que las borraba luego.</p>
<p>El pasar del tiempo no tenia sentido<br />
ni se daba cuenta de que estaba muerto<br />
y que nadie supo que él habia existido.</p>
<p>16 sept. 1996</p>
<p><strong>(Translated into English by Ernesto Priego, Jr.)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Amnesia<br />
</strong><br />
Suddenly he felt<br />
he saw things<br />
like someone just arriving<br />
to a foreign country,<br />
who sees everything<br />
with the new eyes<br />
of a new-born.<br />
His past life and his identity<br />
were forgotten, and without memories<br />
he had been left.<br />
The streets, the houses, the people<br />
he saw wherever he went<br />
were all belonging to a world<br />
recently discovered.<br />
His eyes looked at things<br />
like a cinematographic camera<br />
that afterwards deleted them.<br />
The passing of time had no sense<br />
and he did not realize he was dead<br />
and that no one ever knew he had existed.</p>
<p>16 September 1996</p>
<p><strong>17</strong></p>
<p>El mundo ha dejado de ser<br />
el lugar donde pueda<br />
labrarse el destino<br />
que hemos elegido.</p>
<p><strong>(Translated into English by Ernesto Priego, Jr.)<br />
</strong><br />
The world has stopped being<br />
the place where one could<br />
engrave the destiny<br />
one has chosen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>10</strong></p>
<p>Si he de morir<br />
que sea en tus brazos<br />
para sentir en<br />
tu abrazo<br />
que la muerte<br />
no tiene fin.</p>
<p><strong>Translation by Esaúl</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">If I am to die </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">let it be in your arms</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">so I can feel</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">in your embrace</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">that death</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">is endless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Introduction to Poetry</strong><br />
I ask them to take a poem<br />
and hold it to the light<br />
like a color slide</p>
<p>or press an ear against its hive.</p>
<p>I say drop a mouse into a poem<br />
and watch him probe his way out,</p>
<p>or walk inside the poem&#8217;s room<br />
and feel the walls for a light switch.</p>
<p>I want them to waterski<br />
across the surface of a poem waving at the author&#8217;s name on the shore.</p>
<p>But all they want to do<br />
is tie the poem to a chair with rope<br />
and torture a confession out of it.</p>
<p>They begin beating it with a hose<br />
to find out waht it really means.</p>
<p><strong>Introducción a la poesía</strong><br />
Les pido que tomen un poema<br />
y lo pongan a la luz<br />
como una diapositiva</p>
<p>o presionar una oreja contra su colmena.</p>
<p>Les digo que dejen caer un ratón en un poema<br />
y lo vean explorar hasta salir,</p>
<p>o caminar dentro del cuarto del poema<br />
y palpar las paredes para encontrar el interruptor</p>
<p>Quiero que sobre la superficie del poema<br />
hagan esquí acuático<br />
saludando al nombre del autor en la costa</p>
<p>Pero lo único que quieren hacer<br />
es atar al poema a una silla con una soga<br />
y torturarlo hasta hacerlo confesar.</p>
<p>Comienzan a golpearlo con una manguera<br />
para descifrar lo que dice.</p>
<p><strong>Forgetfulness</strong><br />
The name of the author is the first to go<br />
followed obediently by the title, the plot,<br />
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel<br />
which suddenly becomes one you have never read,<br />
never even heard of,</p>
<p>as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor<br />
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,<br />
to a little fishing village where there are no phones.</p>
<p>Long ago you kissed the names of the nine Muses goodbye<br />
and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag,<br />
and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,</p>
<p>something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps,<br />
the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.</p>
<p>Whatever it is you are struggling to remember,<br />
it is not poised on the tip of your tongue,<br />
not even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen,</p>
<p>It has floated away down a dark mythological river<br />
whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall,<br />
well on your way to oblivion where you will join those<br />
who have even forgotten how to swim and how to ride a bicycle.</p>
<p>No wonder you rise in the middle of the night<br />
to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war.<br />
No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted<br />
out of a love poem that you used to know by heart.</p>
<p><strong>Olvido</strong><br />
El nombre del autor es lo primero que se va<br />
seguido obedientemente por el título, la trama,<br />
la conclusión desgarradora, la novela entera<br />
que de pronto se convierte en una que jamás has leído,<br />
de la que jamás has oído,</p>
<p>como si, uno por uno, los recuerdos que acogiabas<br />
decidieran desplazarse al hemisferio sur del cerebro,<br />
a una aldea pesquera en donde no hay teléfono.</p>
<p>Hace tiempo que de beso despediste a los nombres de las nueve musas<br />
y viste la ecuación cuadrática empacar su maleta,<br />
y aun hoy, al memorizar el orden de los planetas,</p>
<p>otra cosa se escabulle, quizás la flor de algún estado,<br />
la dirección de un tío, la capital de Paraguay.</p>
<p>Sea lo que sea eso que batallas por recordar,<br />
no se encuentra listo en la punta de tu lengua,<br />
ni siquiera merodeando en algún rincón olvidado de tu bazo.</p>
<p>Se ha ido flotando por un río mitológico obscuro<br />
cuyo nombre comienza con L, según lo recuerdas,<br />
bien encaminado vas hacia el olvido en donde te unirás a aquellos<br />
que han olvidado como nadar y como andar en bicicleta.</p>
<p>No es de extrañar que te levantas a medianoche<br />
para buscar la fecha de una batalla famosa en un libro de guerra.<br />
No es de extrañar que la luna en la ventana parece vagar fuera<br />
de un poema de amor que te sabias de memoria.</p>

cuando tu barca se hunde y tu con ella a la deriva,<br />
a qué aferrarse cuando todos los violines callaron<br />
y sólo se escucho la llegada del próximo huracán<br />
que habrá de arrancarte de cuajo tu último sueño.<br />
seguramente entonces debiéramos ser como el<br />
intrépido torero, cuyo valor lo otorga el miedo,<br />

<p><strong>La tragedia de las hojas</strong></p>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Desperté entre sequedad, y los helechos estaban muertos;</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">en sus macetas, las plantas amarillas como el maíz;</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">mi mujer se había ido</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">y las botellas vacías como cadáveres desangrados </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">me rodeaban con su inutilidad;</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">sin embargo, el sol aún permanecía</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">y la nota de la casera se debilitaba en</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">un amarillo fino y trémulo; lo que ahora se necesitaba</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">era un buen comediante, de estilo antiguo, un juglar</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">con chistes aunados a un absurdo dolor; el dolor es absurdo</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">porque existe, nada más;</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">me rasuré cuidadosamente con una navaja vieja</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">el hombre que alguna vez fue joven </span></span><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">y </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">se decía poseer talento; pero </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">esa es la tragedia de las hojas, </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">los helechos muertos, las plantas muertas;</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">y me adentré en un pasillo oscuro </span></span><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">donde se encontraba la casera</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">aborreciéndome e inquebrantable, </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">mandándome al infierno, </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">agitando sus sudorosos brazos gordos</span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">y gritando, </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">demandando la renta, </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">porque el mundo nos había fallado </span></span></address>
<address><span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">a ambos. </span></span></address>
<address></address>
<div><span><strong>Ezra es bastante difícil </strong></span></div>
<p><span><br />
<address>hay miles de licenciados en letras inglesas </address>
<address>que creen que pueden reemplazar </address>
<address>a Ezra, ó a  e.e. ,ó a  T.S.</address>
<address>cuando lo mejor que les pasará</address>
<address>es que</address>
<address>terminarán como cajeros</address>
<address>en una tienda Safeway</address>
<address> y te preguntarán</address>
<address>(bajo reglamento corporativo)</address>
<address>&#8220;¿Cómo está usted hoy?&#8221;</address>
<address>sin recibir respuesta</address>
<address>alguna.</address>

<address><strong>Escribir</strong></address>
<address>a menudo es la única</address>
<address>cosa </address>
<address>entre tú y</address>
<address>la imposibilidad.</address>
<address>ninguna bebida, </address>
<address>ningún amor de una mujer, </address>
<address>ninguna riqueza</address>
<address>pueden igualarlo. </address>

<address></address>
<p><strong>oh, sí</strong></p>
<p><em>hay peores cosas que </em></p>
<address>estar solo</address>
<p></span></div>
<p><span>pero pasan décadas antes</p>
<p>de percatarse de esto</p>
<p>y generalmente</p>
<p>cuando lo haces</p>
<p>es demasiado tarde</p>
<p>y no hay nada peor</p>

<p> <strong>¿Así que quieres ser escritor?</strong></p>
<address>Si no sale como un estallido </address>
<address>a pesar de todo, </address>
<address>no lo hagas.</address>
<address>a menos que salga espontáneamente de tu</address>
<address>corazón y tu mente y tu boca</address>
<address>y tus entrañas, </address>
<address>no lo hagas.</address>
<address>si tienes que sentarte durante horas</address>
<address>frente al monitor de tu computadora</address>

<address>en busca de palabras, </address>
<address>no lo hagas.</address>
<address>si lo haces por dinero o </address>
<address>fama, </address>

<address>rescribiéndolo una y otra vez,</address>
<address>no lo hagas.</address>
<address>si es un trabajo arduo el sólo pensar en hacerlo,</address>
<address>no lo hagas. </address>
<address>si estás intentando escribir como </address>
<address>alguien mas, </address>
<address>olvídalo.</address>
<address></address>
<address>si tienes que esperar a que salga</address>
<address>rugiendo de tu ser, </address>
<address>entonces espera pacientemente.</address>
<address>si nunca sale rugiendo,</address>
<address>haz otra cosa.</address>
<address></address>
<address>si primero se lo tienes que leer a tu esposa</address>
<address>o a tu novia o a tu novio</address>
<address>o a tus padres o a cualquier persona, </address>
<address>no estás listo.</address>
<address></address>
<address>no seas como muchos escritores,</address>
<address>no seas como tanto miles de </address>
<address>personas que se hacen llamar escritores, </address>
<address>no seas apagado y aburrido y </address>
<address>pretencioso, que no te consuma el </address>
<address>amor propio.</address>
<address>las bibliotecas del mundo han</address>
<address>bostezado hasta</address>
<address>dormir</address>
<address>por aquellos como tú. </address>
<address>no le aportes más a eso. </address>
<address>no lo hagas. </address>
<address>a menos que salga de</address>
<address>tu alma como un cohete, </address>
<address>a menos que el estar inmóvil</address>
<address>te llevara a la locura o</address>
<address>al suicidio o al asesinato, </address>
<address>no lo hagas.</address>
<address>a menos que tu sol interno</address>
<address>te queme las viseras, </address>
<address>no lo hagas. </address>
<address></address>
<address>cuando realmente sea tiempo,</address>
<address>y si has sido elegido, </address>
<address>se hará por si </address>
<address>solo y se seguirá haciendo</address>
<address>hasta que mueras o se muera en ti.</address>
<address></address>
<address>no hay otra manera. </address>
<address></address>
<address>y nunca la hubo.  </address>
