"aires" poems
Prophesies of impending fall
creep stealthily over the Great Divide.
Gold-green Aspens shiver in the breeze
like leagues of fibrous wind chimes
serenading the mountain slopes
with aires of shimmering gold.
A few distant bugle calls echo
across the Big Thompson valley
as bull elks warm up for the autumn rut.
Sudden early gusts of frigid wind
bring waves of sleet and snow -
in tune with the turning polar axis.
The greater chill is soon to come.
The animals know it as do we.
Bears bulk up on grasses, roots and berries.
Elk and deer drift down from the heights
To show their young the ways
of the plains and river valleys.
We pull our sweaters on
and toss another log on the flames
and greet the harbingers of approaching fall
creeping stealthily over the Great Divide.

guilt me like a cancer
manipulate me like a taurus
if i was the first verse, you’d skip to the chorus
i tape glue and sew but you’re the one who tore us
ripped me into pieces and i made myself
something new
i recognized myself
you’re lost not knowing what to do
play dumb like a pisces and lash out like a scorpio
if you’d give me up for anything
it would be half an oreo
maybe four quarters or a dollar
but you could never change
had a heart for everyone but i was never in your range
impulsive like an aires confusing like a gemini
you my day 1 and i love you turns into there cant be a you and i
you “never wanna make me cry” but can never keep your **** dry
eyes red like im high
you “never want to say goodbye” but the second things dont go your way you fly
but you could never be the bad guy?
act out like a capricorn stubborn like a leo
how you beat yourself up but wanna be everyones hero?
your double life is really a triple
i should call you trio
if ‘paid in full’ was my life you would be rico
how my own girl crossed me?
then made it my fault that she lost me?
then told everyone she tossed me?
don’t care like aquarius outted me like a libra
you beat around the bush when i made it black and white like a zebra
how i told you tell me the truth and you made up a story
you cant lie on someone who loves you
and bask in glory
i paved the way for you and you act lost like dory
and i still found you
careless like sagittarius critic like a virgo
how you tell me to “never leave” but you go?
how you use the water you drained me of to grow
you’re not who your instagram shows
i see through you, commando
you cant flex on me if you know what i know

Most of the southern portion
Of Argentina
I stand alone
Waiting
In Buenos Aires
For the elevation of my love
Entirely free of her stones
A statue shapely face
With granite and crystalline rock
Windy plateaus
Breezing along the Rio Colorado
Memories remain deep
While my heart ponders
I've so much blood in war
To a woman
Lady Eva
Is her name
Rings out in whispers
In my ear so ghostly
Our youth was so boldly
But beautiful
Her departure
Deposit streams of tears
That aches many nights
I screamed out in agony
And found myself in shame
Now, I'm left alone and lost
To a time
Of past history
How can an unsuccessful love
Prison a desire
That is worsen
Than a sharpen sword
A buried faith
I cannot bring back

Un pedazo de cielo
Una tibia canción
Una hoja en el viento
Unos versos en flor
Papel, flor y tinta
Un desierto fugaz
El brillo de sus ojos
Dos gotas en el mar
Ahogándome
Besándome
Un lucero, una luna
Abriéndose paso hacia el mar
Traspasando paredes de agua
Un suspiro, un aliento
Una velada de aire
Una tertulia de amor
Un pedazo de cielo
Una pizca de sol
Una sombra dilata
Y mi mente desnuda
Tu figura en mis dedos
Dibujando el contorno
De impaciente desvelo
Y así surge a mi favor
La imaginación se hace realidad
Preso de su olor
Un jilguero, una vida
Acariciando los aires
Sus alas surcando los vientos
Un suspiro, un aliento
Una velada de aire
Una tertulia de amor
Un arcoiris de letras
Dos pinceladas de ti

Lo supieron los arduos alumnos de Pitágoras:
los astros y los hombres vuelven cíclicamente;
los átomos fatales repetirán la urgente
Afrodita de oro, los tebanos, las ágoras.
En edades futuras oprimirá el centauro
con el casco solípedo el pecho del lapita;
cuando Roma sea polvo, gemirá en la infinita
noche de su palacio fétido el minotauro.
Volverá toda noche de insomnio: minuciosa.
La mano que esto escribe renacerá del mismo
vientre. Férreos ejércitos construirán el abismo.
(David Hume de Edimburgo dijo la misma cosa).
No sé si volveremos en un ciclo segundo
como vuelven las cifras de una fracción periódica;
pero sé que una oscura rotación pitagórica
noche a noche me deja en un lugar del mundo
que es de los arrabales. Una esquina remota
que puede ser del Norte, del Sur o del Oeste,
pero que tiene siempre una tapia celeste,
una higuera sombría y una vereda rota.
Ahí está Buenos Aires. El tiempo que a los hombres
trae el amor o el oro, a mí apenas me deja
esta rosa apagada, esta vana madeja
de calles que repiten los pretéritos nombres
de mi sangre: Laprida, Cabrera, Soler, Suárez...
Nombres en que retumban (ya secretas) las dianas,
las repúblicas, los caballos y las mañanas,
las felices victorias, las muertes militares.
Las plazas agravadas por la noche sin dueño
son los patios profundos de un árido palacio
y las calles unánimes que engendran el espacio
son corredores de vago miedo y de sueño.
Vuelve la noche cóncava que descifró Anaxágoras;
vuelve a mi carne humana la eternidad constante
y el recuerdo ¿el proyecto? de un poema incesante:
«Lo supieron los arduos alumnos de Pitágoras...»

Dios -¿de dónde sacaste para encender el cielo
este maravilloso crepúsculo de cobre?
Por él supe llenarme de alegría de nuevo,
y la mala mirada supe tornarla noble.
Entre las llamaradas amarillas y verdes
se alumbró el lampadario de un sol desconocido
que rajó las azules llanuras del oeste
y volcó en las montañas, sus fuentes y sus ríos.
Dame la maga fiesta, Dios, déjala en mi vida,
dame los fuegos tuyos para alumbrar la tierra,
deja en mi corazón tu lámpara encendida
y yo seré el aceite de su lumbre suprema.
Y me iré por los campos en la noche estrellada
con los brazos abiertos y la frente desnuda,
cantando aires ingenuos con las mismas palabras
que en la noche se dicen los campos y la luna.

That familiar feeling of depression,
led me on,
drooling
with my mouth open, nostrils wide
taking air in from hot, open windows;
driving at 20 mph in a 15 zone
carefully avoiding the road bumps.
The rear view mirror shows me,
a familiar stranger in dark, Ray-ban shades
She follows me,
a life of condescension
yet we love it
as long as we maintain the pool
built with utmost care.
Her hidden eyes give me comfort
I wish she was my wife
and the comfort in her hidden eyes
was comfort
in my cramped up car and my cramped up loft
from this cramped up life.
(There's a weird thing about unfamiliarity)
There are other things
like Ana's bookshelf in an upscale house in Buenos Aires,
those yellow tees specially designed to remember old pals,
or getting high in the Sierra Nevadas
with someone paid to be like you.
There's too much **** down that road,
the one I never took,
women became girls waiting in puffy waterproofs
coffee gets old
there's the cost of oil change every 300 miles
I don't drive that much anymore.
We have widows, young widows
sometimes with young babies, barely born
in fact, we were all young sometime
you, I, brides, the war on terror
that boy from Ethiopia,
things were simpler without automobiles
and rear view mirrors.

The Voyage
The big seagull sat on the bow of my rowing boat
on my way to Argentina and Rosita,
which I never met she had married guitar player-
had unfriendly eyes ready to peck my eyes out.
I regretted my heroism.
I wanted to go to Argentina because of its pampas
Beautiful horses and also to be famous for the voyage
I was picked up by a merchant ship
it was actually going the wrong way docked in Antwerp
Free beer for the, would be the hero.
I got a job on an old steamer bound for Argentina.
Buenos Aires,
A City with so many beautiful women it took a long
before I got my stead looking for the tree of wisdom.
I found it burning in the night
the Gauchos were feeling cold and set fire to the tree.
What matters is the journey which is a fine sentence to cover for absolute failure.

His hands stretched out as if in the
Shavasana pose, only he was
Wearing his old jeans, chequered shirt
Black laceless converse shoes
His head on the lush green grass
With Hesse’s Siddartha in his left hand
and a magical airbrush in his right hand
He gazed at the cloudless blue sky
Like an artist in front of a canvas
he drew the people he wanted in it,
The boy with the inquisitive big brown eyes
The girl at the bus stop carrying a tote bag
the things he wanted to do,
Climb the highest mountain peak
Do the tango in Buenos Aires
Vagabond across South America
the sunsets and the full moons he wanted to see
the reasons he was willing to suffer for
the smiles he wanted to have.
A masterpiece in the making
the outline took no more than a few minutes
but the finished piece took a lifetime to create.

i want to sit in
Buenos Aires
drink coffee
till i am as wired
as the skyline
at midnight
i never sleep anyway
i want to kiss strangers
fake-ly
like they were my friends
i lost somewhere
but recently found
i need new friends
i want to tango
with a white Patagonia
rose
clenched in my teeth
while my clenched *******
rise and fall
to the beat of the waves
in my water bra
i never had lessons anyway
i want Argentina
full of faux marble
dance hall floors,
scuffed shoes, burned beans
and fish markets full of thorny
roses
i need to feel full

To Mr. H. Lawes, on his Aires.
Harry whose tuneful and well measur’d Song
First taught our English Musick how to span
Words with just note and accent, not to scan
With Midas Ears, committing short and long;
Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng,
With praise enough for Envy to look wan;
To after age thou shalt be writ the man,
That with smooth aire couldst humor best our tongue
Thou honour’st Verse, and Verse must send her wing
To honour thee, the Priest of Phoebus Quire
That tun’st their happiest lines in Hymn or Story
Dante shall give Fame leave to set thee higher
Then his Casella, whom he woo’d to sing
Met in the milder shades of Purgatory.

And there we were,
just the same
Metal hooks, green leaves,
& doors that don’t shut
you left yours’ wide-open!
So I walked right in…
I don’t need a key after all
On the walls,
of a delapidated city home hung
atlases & art
Memories taste sweeter in ink.
You want to put a map of Buenes Aires
on your body
I said your belly
& made you laugh
I like the way your smile
reaches the corners of
your ember amber eyes.
It dances about the ledges of your lips
Soft & corporal Hermes of oxytocin
You light up, oh well I do too
Fireflies, summer heat
blades of grass & midnight dips
in shallow pools of abandonned hotels
In the gentle release of a humane kindness
I remembered that it’s a falling
& not a pushing that we’re all after
sing to me
tell me your secrets
feed me beets & chardes
brown sugar
leave your window open all night
I’ll love you in the morning

TWO ENGLISH POEMS For A Woman
I.
The useless dawn finds me in a deserted streetcorner; I have outlived the night.
Nights are proud waves: darkblue topheavy waves laden with all hues of deep spoil, laden with things unlikely and desirable.
Nights have a habit of mysterious gifts and refusals, of things half given away, half withheld, of joys with a dark hemisphere. Nights act that way, I tell you.
The surge, that night, left me the customary shreds and odd ends: some hated friends to chat with, music for dreams, and the smoking of bitter ashes. The things my hungry heart has no use for.
The big wave brought you.
Words, any words, your laughter; and you so lazily and incessantly beautiful. We talked and you have forgotten the words.
The shattering dawn finds me in a deserted street of my city.
Your profile turned away, the sounds that go to make your name, the lilt of your laughter: these are the illustrious toys you have left me.
I turn them over in the dawn, I lose them; I tell them to the few stray dogs and to the few stray stars of the dawn.
Your dark rich life…
I must get at you, somehow: I put away those illustrious toys you have left me, I want your hidden look, your real smile –that lonely, mocking smile your mirror knows.
II.
What can I hold you with?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the moon of the ragged suburbs.
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked long and long at the lonely moon.
I offer you my ancestors, my dead men, the ghost that living men have honoured in marble: my father’s father killed in the frontier of Buenos Aires, two bullets through his lungs, bearded and dead, wrapped by his soldiers in the hide of a cow; my mother’s grandfather –just twentyfour- heading a charge of three hundred men in Perú, now ghosts on vanished horses.
I offer you whatever insight my books may hold, whatever manliness humour my life.
I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never been loyal.
I offer her that kernel of myself that I have saved, somehow – the central heart that deals not in words, traffics not with dreams and is untouched by time, by joy, by adversities.
I offer you the memory of a yellow rose seen at sunset, years before you were born.
I offer you explanations of yourself, theories about yourself, authentic and surprising news of yourself.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.

I hear the Siren's cry.
A bittersweet laughing ruse
full of a life fulfilled
just out of earshot.
Here I stand restrained.
A mute with perfect hearing,
A rigid, fettered meat husk.
Jutte Bristles feast upon the flesh of my wrists-
Vegetative vampiric cord.
It holds me to my main sail in a sea of
Violent storms.
My ship tosses and bucks, riding the bull of Poseidon
while phantoms of light dance on crests of oblivion.
My sailors, ears plugged with wax
Shift and sway on legs accustomed to rough waters.
I Alone, Hear the call and strain to act.
And what do these Goddesses of Lies offer,
(for deep down I know what they are)
these voices of fell winds wrapped in painful beauty.
Riches or Aires?
Sweet coupled love?
Secrets of the Green Mirror?
No, an end to loneliness.
Become one with the sweet horror and chaos.
Come dance over the waters with ****** abandon.
Feast on the tripe of torn souls.
I long to follow, but will not.
Rope against bone and sinew.
Blood pools at my ships rain-drenched trunk.
The song it calls, it calls…
Vile once-men, future minstrel demons,
Abominations that haunt my ghost ship.
Listen to your commander and allow me to follow
these kisses of spectral wanton lust.
Screams of anguish echo--
and then realization!
It is my own voice that parts
the waves of the storm soaked sea.
It is my own voice that
parts from the divine.

Se le vio, caminando entre fusiles,
por una calle larga,
salir al campo frío,
aún con estrellas de la madrugada.
Mataron a Federico
cuando la luz asomaba.
El pelotón de verdugos
no osó mirarle la cara.
Todos cerraron los ojos;
rezaron: ¡ni Dios te salva!
Muerto cayó Federico
-sangre en la frente y plomo en las entrañas-
... Que fue en Granada el crimen
sabed -¡pobre Granada!-, en su Granada.
Se le vio caminar solo con Ella,
sin miedo a su guadaña.
-Ya el sol en torre y torre, los martillos
en yunque- yunque y yunque de las fraguas.
Hablaba Federico,
requebrando a la muerte. Ella escuchaba.
«Porque ayer en mi verso, compañera,
sonaba el golpe de tus secas palmas,
y diste el hielo a mi cantar, y el filo
a mi tragedia de tu hoz de plata,
te cantaré la carne que no tienes,
los ojos que te faltan,
tus cabellos que el viento sacudía,
los rojos labios donde te besaban...
Hoy como ayer, gitana, muerte mía,
qué bien contigo a solas,
por estos aires de Granada, ¡mi Granada!»
Se le vio caminar...
Labrad, amigos,
de piedra y sueño en el Alhambra,
un túmulo al poeta,
sobre una fuente donde llore el agua,
y eternamente diga:
el crimen fue en Granada, ¡en su Granada!

His name was Father Harrigan.
He was so poor at the seminary . . .
Ireland’s flagship seminary,
Erin’s last remaining seminary,
Maynooth College near Dublin,
Once a network of theological schools
Exporting priests worldwide,
Struggling today to
Produce enough priests for
The shrinking next generation of
Irish Catholics . . .
He was so poor upon
Sacrament of Holy Orders,
He accepted a first post to Argentina,
Where he met a young Pope Francis,
“The Talking Mule,” as he was
Mocked back then, back in
The student lounge,
Universidad del Salvador,
A Jesuit institution,
Buenos Aires.
But I digress.
Father Harrigan made friends easily.
It wasn’t too long before
He had his choice assignment—
His coveted next assignment--
North America--specifically the
Boston Archdiocese,
For any ***** Irishman
A land of carnal opportunity &
Never Ending Corn Beef
& Cabbage Bowl®,
($Ka-Ching! Finally making poetry pay!$)
The Olive Garden.
Southie was where it all got
Started in 5th Grade, Elementary,
Our Lady of Tipperary, the
Spring talent show.
His mother convinced him to sing
One of George M. Cohan’s tune, i.e.
A tune by His Eminence
“Yankee Doodle Dandy,”
A song called "Harrigan."
**“H, A, Double-R-I, G-A-N spells Harrigan,
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me . . .”**
What better way to ingratiate
Himself to his parish,
Or his parish priest to his family?
Father Seamus Harrigan:
Built like John Candy, RIP.
A fat Irish slob,
A captive of his appetites,
Including one for boys.
That guy should be given
Kennedy Center Honors, for
Giving the gift that keeps on giving:
That first exquisite *******
Which in subsequent years
Defined my taste for women
Capable of perfection.

Tristes calles derechas, agrisadas e iguales,
por donde asoma, a veces, un pedazo de cielo,
sus fachadas oscuras y el asfalto del suelo
me apagaron los tibios sueños primaverales.
Cuánto vagué por ellas, distraída, empapada
en el vaho grisáceo, lento, que las decora.
De su monotonía mi alma padece ahora.
-¡Alfonsina! -No llames. Ya no respondo a nada.
Si en una de tus casas, Buenos Aires, me muero
viendo en días de otoño tu cielo prisionero
no me será sorpresa la lápida pesada.
Que entre tus calles rectas, untadas de su río
apagado, brumoso, desolante y sombrío,
cuando vagué por ellas, ya estaba yo enterrada.

He woke up early today while the sun was still young in the sky, he hadn't dreamed tonite, he was still opening his eyes and getting ready to give up the bed and get up when his eyes lost their focus, he wasn't sure if he had something in his eyes or if he was dreaming. He tried closing them for a couple of second but to no avail, he was completely out of focus, he looked around his bedroom and tried to see the outline of the objects around him, everything had a soft haze as in dreams were things are not physical, so he picked up the book that was on his night stand to try to see if this optical effect or illusion was also with objects closer to his eyes, the book's title was kafka's diaries, but it read as kafka's daisies, strange he thought, as soon as that thought of strangeness left his mind the title return to normal and he took a look at his hands, then around the room. It seems the hazinness left his eyes and everything seemed normal again as far as eyesight goes, since he always had 20/20 vision, so he got up, went to the kitchen. Turn the stove on for some tea, made himself an omelet and left for work. Kepre was a nomal twenty year old as far as human being go, he studied at the university of Buenos Aires and during the weekend worked at a local bookstore, today was saturday so he was on the way to work. He hadn't noticed yet or even felt that today everything would change for the better.

Besé aquella vez la brisa más húmeda
y salada de su océano.
Besé su alma y como supuse
allí no encontré, magullado sus pulsos.
Él estaba intacto aún
preparado para entrar
nuevamente en mis nirvanas.
No existían huellas
de las antiguas cigarras
que escarbaban de noche
el ángelus de sus orgasmos
tampoco las de aquellas pupilas cortesanas
que le entregaban las llaves
de sus templos derramados,
mientras su colilla húmeda y mutilada
se perdía ambulante y confundida
detrás de una ceguera diluida
entre los lirios de su estación última .
Es cierto que ya no era purísimo y exacto
él, había cambiado,
las cortinas de su alma
ya no eran un misterio
y sus pensamientos
ya no se escondían convulsos
detrás de sus jaquecas.
Comenzamos a nacer entonces, después
de que mis llantos pudrieran mis ojos
de manera retórica,
después de que esos rumores perdidos
empezaron a desempañar
los cristales silenciosos de mi cálido infierno.
Y entonces...él abrió sus ojos de verdad,
y halló mi nacimiento, justo donde la seda rota
cubría las nuevas espigas...

La tempestad sirve esta noche
De música de fondo,
El tintintin
De la lluvia simula
El tantantan
De nuestros corazones
Aquella otra noche.
Y ahora recuerdo
Tus palabras
que me besaban
Entonces
Con grandes aires
De ser eternas.
Y me acuerdo también
De las ultimas
Que me distes,
Decías,
“perdón, si he fallado”
Y conteste,
“¿De que? Si nunca hubo promesas”
Y reíste
Un poco arrepentido,
“entonces por eso, perdón”
Y ahora para de llover
Y despeja el cielo
De ahora otra tierra
Y las estrellas no son las mismas,
Las de esa noche:
Ahora me recuerdan
Que ha pasado
Tiempo, fronteras, y gente
Que ahora estas mas lejos
Que nunca.
Pero todo va bien
Porque nunca rompiste
Tus promesas
Que no me distes.

Boguemos, boguemos;
la barca empujad,
que rompa las nubes,
que rompa las nieblas,
los aires, las llamas,
las densas tinieblas,
las olas del mar.
Boguemos, crucemos;
del mundo el confín;
que hoy su triste cárcel quiebran
libres los diablos en fin,
y con música y estruendo
los condenados celebran,
juntos cantando y bebiendo
un diabólico festín.

A un niño, a un solo niño que iba para piedra nocturna,
para ángel indiferente de una escala sin cielo...
Mirad. Conteneos la sangre, los ojos.
A sus pies, él mismo, sin vida.
No aliento de farol moribundo,
ni jadeada amarillez de noche agonizante,
sino dos fósforos fijos de pesadilla eléctrica,
clavados sobre su tierra en polvo, juzgándola.
Él, resplandor sin salida, lividez sin escape, yacente,
juzgándose.
Tizo electrocutado, infancia mía de ceniza, a mis pies, tizo yacente.
Carbunclo hueco, ***** desprendido de un ángel que iba para piedra nocturna,
para límite entre la muerte y la nada.
Tú: yo: niño.
Bambolea el viento un vientre de gritos anteriores al mundo
a la sorpresa de la luz en los ojos de los reciennacidos,
al descenso de la vía láctea a las gargantas terrestres.
Niño.
Una cuna de llamas de norte a sur,
de frialdad de tiza amortajada en los yelos,
a fiebre de paloma agonizando en el área de una bujía;
una cuna de llamas meciéndote las sonrisas, los llantos.
Niño.
Las primeras palabras abiertas en las penumbras de los sueños sin nadie,
en el silencio rizado de las albercas o en el eco de los jardines,
devoradas por el mar y ocultas hoy en un hoyo sin viento.
Muertas, como el estreno de tus pies en el cansancio frío de una escalera.
Niño.
Las flores, sin piernas para huir de los aires crueles,
de su espoleo continuo al corazón volante de las nieves y los pájaros,
desangradas en un aburrimiento de cartillas y pizarrines.
4 y 4 son 18. Y la X, una K, una H, una J.
Niño.
En un trastorno de ciudades marítimas sin escrúpulos,
de mapas confundidos y desiertos barajados,
atended a unos ojos que preguntan por los afluentes del cielo,
a una memoria extraviada entre nombres y fechas.
Niño.
Perdido entre ecuaciones, triángulos, fórmulas y precipitados azules,
entre el suceso de la sangre, los escombros y las coronas caídas,
cuando los cazadores de oro y el asalto a la banca,
en el rubor tardío de las azoteas
voces de ángeles te anunciaron la botadura y pérdida de tu alma.
Niño.
Y como descendiste al fondo de las mareas,
a las urnas donde el azogue, el plomo y el hierro pretenden ser humanos,
tener honores de vida,
a la deriva de la noche tu traje fue dejándote solo.
Niño.
Desnudo, sin los billetes de inocencia fugados en sus bolsillos,
derribada en tu corazón y sola su primera silla,
no creíste ni en Venus, que nacía en el compás abierto de tus brazos.
ni en la escala de plumas que tiende el sueño de Jacob al de Julio Verne.
Niño.
Para ir al infierno no hace falta cambiar de sitio ni postura.

Fresca, lozana, pura y olorosa,
gala y adorno del pensil florido,
gallarda puesta sobre el ramo erguido,
fragancia esparce la naciente rosa.
Mas si el ardiente sol lumbre enojosa
vibra, del can en llamas encendido,
el dulce aroma y el color perdido,
sus hojas lleva el aura presurosa.
Así brilló un momento mi ventura
en alas del amor, y hermosa nube
fingí tal vez de gloria y de alegría.
Mas, ay, que el bien trocóse en amargura,
y deshojada por los aires sube
la dulce flor de la esperanza mía.
