under this suburban sky
red stain on the dull gray, when you move away to your elsewhere
you revive
as a fish returning to the water after a short yet intense pain

for you I'm the bait
and the hook
and the fisherman too,
not in that order
in the order you decide
since you decide

you are elusive, you always look away and tighten your eyes
your words are lashes
I feel weak in your presence,
at the same time your fragility confuses me and it moves me
as a boat adrift in a lonely sea
...................
sotto questo cielo suburbano
macchia rossa su grigio opaco, quando ti muovi nel tuo altrove,

tu rivivi
come un pesce che ritorna in acqua dopo un'agonia breve ma intensa

per te io sono esca
amo ed anche  pescatore,
ma non in quell'ordine
nell'ordine in cui decidi
e tu decidi

sei inafferrabile, distogli sempre lo sguardo e stringi gli occhi
le tue parole sono staffilate
mi sento debole in tua presenza,
allo tempo stesso la tua fragilità mi confonde e mi commuove
come una  barca alla deriva in un solitario mare
..................

bajo este cielo suburbano
mancha roja en gris opaco, cuando te alejas a tu otro lugar,
tu revives

como un pez que regresa al agua después de un dolor breve pero intenso

yo soy cebo para ti
y gancho
y también  pescador
pero no en ese orden
en el orden en que tu decidas
y tu decides

eres evasiva, siempre mira hacia otro lado y cierras los ojos
tus palabras son latigazos
me siento débil en tu presencia,
al mismo tiempo, tu fragilidad me confunde y me conmueve
como un barco a la deriva en un solitario mar
Pablo Paredes Oct 2015
Tanto tiempo inmovil,
esperando sin esperanza
que algun día apareciera.
Hoy, ya tarde.
poco a poco se desvanece la ilusion,
que nos mantuvo despierto por tanto tiempo.
Mientras más me acerco,
más te alejas.
Pero tal vez, solo tal vez
mañana no será tarde.
La ilusión brilla esmeralda
en mis amaneceres oscuros;
mientras, sus brazos rodean
tu desnudo cuerpo.
El calor de la ciega pasión
calienta tu alma en decadencia.
Me sigo alejando sin conseguir
una respuesta,
pues la distancia se vuelve verdugo del deseo.
Esperando el tiempo yaciera congelado
eternamente, nuestros cuerpos marchitaron,
la llama se apago
y el calor se volvió frío.
Sólo me queda esperar,
cómo tu ya lo haz hecho.
Ya te vemos dormida.
Tu barca es de madera por la orilla.Blanca princesa de nunca.
¡Duerme por la noche oscura!
Cuerpo y tierra de nieve.
Duerme por el alba, ¡duerme!Ya te alejas dormida.
¡Tu barca es bruma, sueño, por la orilla!
Digamos que te alejas definitivamente
hacia el pozo de olvido que prefieres,
pero la mejor parte de tu espacio,
en realidad la única constante de tu espacio,
quedará para siempre en mí, doliente,
persuadida, frustrada, silenciosa,
quedará en mí tu corazón inerte y sustancial,
tu corazón de una promesa única
en mí que estoy enteramente solo
sobreviviéndote.

Después de ese dolor redondo y eficaz,
pacientemente agrio, de invencible ternura,
ya no importa que use tu insoportable ausencia
ni que me atreva a preguntar si cabes
como siempre en una palabra.

Lo cierto es que ahora ya no estás en mi noche
desgarradoramente idéntica a las otras
que repetí buscándote, rodeándote.
Hay solamente un eco irremediable
de mi voz como niño, esa que no sabía.

Ahora qué miedo inútil, qué vergüenza
no tener oración para morder,
no tener fe para clavar las uñas,
no tener nada más que la noche,
saber que Dios se muere, se resbala,
que Dios retrocede con los brazos cerrados,
con los labios cerrados, con la niebla,
como un campanario atrozmente en ruinas
que desandara siglos de ceniza.

Es tarde. Sin embargo yo daría
todos los juramentos y las lluvias,
las paredes con insultos y mimos,
las ventanas de invierno, el mar a veces,
por no tener tu corazón en mí,
tu corazón inevitable y doloroso
en mí que estoy enteramente solo
sobreviviéndote.
Hoy recostado
Siento fuego a un costado
De me fé mutilada
De mi sed  enfadada.

Disparos sin sentido
Sentimiento encontrado
Y me vuelco a un espejo
Y veo tu rostro, mi cara.

Me siento de trigo
Ahora tabaco
Me lo fumo despacio.

Te quiero...

Te quiero...

Te quiero...

Quisiera oírlo de ti
Quisiera volverte a ver

Pero cada vez el viento sopla
Te alejas de mi rostro de tu cara.
Yo tiempo, tu lamentos
Luz y oscuridad
Contraste a mi vida.
Blanco y *****
Contraste en mi vida.

Bailar vale la pena si es contigo
Cómo el vino añejo
Cómo lugierngas al viento
Pero si viajas sin destino
Mi camino no lo miro.
Hemos perdido aun este crepúsculo.
Nadie nos vio esta tarde con las manos unidas
mientras la noche azul caía sobre el mundo.

He visto desde mi ventana
la fiesta del poniente en los cerros lejanos.

A veces como una moneda
se encendía un pedazo de sol entre mis manos.

Yo te recordaba con el alma apretada
de esa tristeza que tú me conoces.

Entonces, dónde estabas?
Entre qué gentes?
Diciendo qué palabras?
Por qué se me vendrá todo el amor de golpe
cuando me siento triste, y te siento lejana?

Cayó el libro que siempre se toma en el crepúsculo,
y como un perro herido rodó a mis pies mi capa.

Siempre, siempre te alejas en las tardes
hacia donde el crepúsculo corre borrando estatuas.
Cuando el amor se acaba
Lo siento en mis venas
Cuando te alejas,
Me duele la hiel
Si no te sofoco , no peleo
Pero si me alejo, me rendí
Quien entiende el amor
Cada cual siente lo que siente no hay razón
No me importa las veces que me has roto el corazón
Solo se que sin tu amor
Me provocan sentimientos
Quiero pelear por ti,
Pero ya tu fuego se apago
Ahora me toca decir Adiós,
Hasta luego a este efímero amor
Sin explicación, sin perdón
No esperaba esta reacción , de conocerte
y sentir lo que siento
Espero que estés bien
Que encuentres tu mitad
La mía ya no se donde esta.
#love #sad #heartbreak #amor #despecho
Arriero, vas fabulosamente vidriado de sudor.
La hacienda Menocucho
cobra mil sinsabores diarios por la vida.
Las doce. Vamos a la cintura del día.
El sol que duele mucho.
Arriero, con tu poncho colorado te alejas,
saboreando el romance peruano de tu coca.
Y yo desde una hamaca,
desde un siglo de duda,
cavilo tu horizonte y atisbo, lamentado,
por zancudos y por el estribillo gentil
y enfermo de una "paca-paca".
Al fin tú llegarás donde debes llegar,
arriero, que, detrás de tu burro santurrón,
te vas...,
te vas...
Mi corazón, un día, tuvo un ansia suprema,
que aún hoy lo embriaga cual lo embriagara ayer;
Quería aprisionar un alma en un poema,
y que viviera siempre... Pero no pudo ser.
Mi corazón, un día, silenció su latido,
y en plena lozanía se sintió envejecer;
Quiso amar un recuerdo más fuerte que el olvido
y morir recordando... Pero no pudo ser.
Mi corazón, un día, soñó un sueño
sonoro,
en un fugaz anhelo de gloria y de poder;
Subió la escalinata de un palacio de oro
y quiso abrir las puertas... Pero no pudo ser.
Mi corazón, un día, se convirtió en hoguera,
por vivir plenamente la fiebre del placer;
Ansiaba el goce nuevo de una emoción cualquiera,
un goce para él solo... Pero no pudo ser.
Y hoy llegas tú a mi vida, con tu sonrisa clara,
con tu sonrisa clara, que es un amanecer;
y ante el sueño más dulce que nunca antes soñara,
quiero vivir mi sueño... Pero no puede ser.
Y he de decirte adiós para siempre, querida,
sabiendo que te alejas para nunca volver,
Quisiera retenerte para toda la vida...
¡Pero no puede ser! ¡Pero no puede ser!
Ken Pepiton Jun 2
you passed understanding. You got an A

It is so boring, that's all, it's like, what do I think about,
while a' drive a' used boring machine man extention,
used to cost five mill then, haps to cost more used,
right, tight military coded respect, cost to develop,
- it's no secret its just ignorance of our shields
- Mars's musta blown away
- no deep life or no life, Elon,
- here after whatever happened to Mars
- Earth might breed survivors, remember
- the ages of Ice and stories so old as that
- whole mountains of red mud, so deep sky
- boilt'steem esteemed so
- hot
but theres these lava flows, miles thick lava rivers,
we bet we suggest it to elon, like the whole world does,
choices are melon of felon, no Elon, as stories shall
say elon, can we use won of your boring machines
to drill into lava miles wide and deep, so inside,
it would feel like Mars, same from Suns rays deep…
safe, eventually selfsupporting colonies of Dunbar sized
bubble in the lava, Boring Company can do it now,
somebody who knows who can do the drill,
you know,
the drill, how did you pass

Here's to all the Turing Loops through A.E. Wilder-Smith,
and his version of Von Neuman…
as a model old friend I hope never to offend, but, the logic,
post public knowledge unbeknownst to my ghosts, the idea,
smith wild dancer archery champion, here we hap
around activated memorial day memes…

we think like each other for decades,
we watch the same telos controlled licensed advertised art,
we all did not have tele vision, we all had radio,

and our grandaddy knew how to tune in to the whole world,
when the weather was so perfect it would seem impossible,

but you can see Saturn, from my front porch, using
this very same attention ******* mindset gritting my teeth.

Ausencia de dios
Let's say you're finally moving away
toward the pit of oblivion you prefer,
but the best part of your space,
in reality the only constant of your space,
will remain forever in me, grieving,
persuaded, frustrated, silent,
your inert and substantial heart will remain in me,
your heart of a unique promise
in me who am entirely alone
surviving you.

After that round and effective pain,
patiently bitter, of invincible tenderness,
it no longer matters that I use your unbearable absence
or that I dare to ask if you fit
as always in a word.

The truth is that now you are no longer in my night
heartbreakingly identical to the others
that I repeated searching for you, surrounding you.
There is only an irremediable echo
of my voice as a child, the one I didn't know.

Now what useless fear, what shame
not having a prayer to bite,
not having faith to dig my nails into,
not having anything but the night,
knowing that God is dying, slipping away,
that God retreats with closed arms,
with closed lips, with the fog,
like a bell tower horribly in ruins
unraveling centuries of ash.

It's late. Yet I would give
all the oaths and the rains,
the walls with insults and pampering,
the winter windows, the sea sometimes,
not to have your heart in me,
your inevitable and painful heart
in me who am entirely alone
surviving you.
---------------------------------

I did it this way, with cause, surviving,
is how we continue the access to used tools,
old books elites taught soldiers with,
for centuries, lead us to Gunga Din,
who reappeared as Dr. Zorba,
in a chalk talk Ben Casey intro,
featuring a very hairy brain surgeon.

Mork was hairy, sneeze
godblessuyesewas, sneeze distracts me

I met another survivor, in weform reading we
not even the same tongue, no talk of lisps

and then, I had the rest of my day to think about that
because I took part in an experiment in random code
retention, wu tension total wu way, too, five letter groups

with a neutron to focus on this medium can read any… sigh
but that's an if, as confusing force makes life too hard… yet
if we read this far we are letting this mind be, so real.

I read it a bunch of times, and each time, I hoped
curiosity has some readers think one point…
Þis or Þat or Þose or these Þose suppose…

is this taboo to get caught up at the surviving you hook
Þorny issue for many who once sold rosy glasses.

Along the back wall, see it third time through

dorkinhere as mr toad's ohnognoshit though
ghuckingtough to get traction without true grit…

as a digestion suggestions from the chickens
who lived to rule the table, who sits on your board.

We got, there he is Think and Grow Rich, thunk
a bout a *** dred or so, years, miles, whose measure?
Free press, who would not take that with a satisfied mind and all the time in the world, granted a  life after three paddle flashes what was that one each word, 11/11/2023... a life remains

— The End —
