Sa malayong baryo ng lalawigan ng Antigo, ng bayan ng San Arden Nakatira kapiling ng ama Sa murang edad, sanay magtrabaho Magpukpok ng pako sa tabla Sapagkat naulila sa inang nagluwal Ikinapahamak ang matagal na pagpapakasakit upang mailabas lang kapagdaka bilang anak niya sa kamalig ng kanyang ama Kinalong ng lolo Mga kamag-anak ay humingi ng saklolo Bumugalwak ang dugo sa patadyong May pag-asa pa bang mailigtas kung dadalhin pa sa bayan nang gamutin ng pantas Sa daraanan sa palayan, kay lakas ng ulan Pumapagaspas ang dahon ng palay Kakaunti lang ang hininga sa di magkamayaw na hangin Talagang binawian na Nautas ang ilaw ng pamilya Sapagkat iisa lang ang bunso't panganay Kailangan sundin ang utos at patnubay Kung nabagot sa kahihintay, sa pag-uwi may sasalubong- hampas ng latigo na maglalatay

Palabras, frases, sílabas, astros que giran alrededor de un centro fijo. Dos cuerpos, muchos seres que se encuentran en una palabra. El papel se cubre de letras indelebles, que nadie dijo, que nadie dictó, que han caído allí y arden y queman y se apagan. Así pues, existe la poesía, el amor existe. Y si yo no existo, existes tú. El poema prepara un orden amoroso. Preveo un hombre-sol y una mujer-luna, el uno libre de su poder, la otra libre de su esclavitud, y amores implacables rayando el espacio ***** Todo ha de ceder a esas águilas incandescentes. Todo poema se cumple a expensas del poeta. Mediodía futuro, árbol inmenso de follaje invisible. En las plazas cantan los hombres y las mujeres el canto solar, surtidor de transparencias. Me cubre la marejada amarilla: nada mío ha de hablar por mi boca. Cuando la Historia duerme, habla en sueños; en la frente del pueblo dormido el poema es una constelación de sangre. Cuando a Historia despierta, la imagen se hace acto, acontece el poema; la poesía entra en acción. Merece lo que sueñas.

Hacia el poema (puntos de partida)
O dear sweet rosy unattainable desire ...how sad, no way to change the mad cultivated asphodel, the visible reality... and skin's appalling petals--how inspired to be so Iying in the living room drunk naked and dreaming, in the absence of electricity... over and over eating the low root of the asphodel, gray fate... rolling in generation on the flowery couch as on a bank in Arden-- my only rose tonite's the treat of my own ****** Fall, 1953

An Asphodel
"O day! he cannot die When thou so fair art shining! O Sun, in such a glorious sky, So tranquilly declining; He cannot leave thee now, While fresh west winds are blowing, And all around his youthful brow Thy cheerful light is glowing! Edward, awake, awake-- The golden evening gleams Warm and bright on Arden's lake-- Arouse thee from thy dreams! Beside thee, on my knee, My dearest friend, I pray That thou, to cross the eternal sea, Wouldst yet one hour delay: I hear its billows roar-- I see them foaming high; But no glimpse of a further shore Has blest my straining eye. Believe not what they urge Of Eden isles beyond; Turn back, from that tempestuous surge, To thy own native land. It is not death, but pain That struggles in thy breast-- Nay, rally, Edward, rouse again; I cannot let thee rest!" One long look, that sore reproved me For the woe I could not bear-- One mute look of suffering moved me To repent my useless prayer: And, with sudden check, the heaving Of distraction passed away; Not a sign of further grieving Stirred my soul that awful day. Paled, at length, the sweet sun setting; Sunk to peace the twilight breeze: Summer dews fell softly, wetting Glen, and glade, and silent trees. Then his eyes began to weary, Weighed beneath a mortal sleep; And their orbs grew strangely dreary, Clouded, even as they would weep. But they wept not, but they changed not, Never moved, and never closed; Troubled still, and still they ranged not-- Wandered not, nor yet reposed! So I knew that he was dying-- Stooped, and raised his languid head; Felt no breath, and heard no sighing, So I knew that he was dead.

The sense of smell is a very powerful sense. It can take you back to a certain time, place, and even person. The scent that I grew up with was Elizabeth Arden Red Door. I remember it smelling so posh, and sophisticated, even the bottle looked expensive with the red cap and the gold liquid, and it was the first thing I would smell in the morning. The scent I grew accustomed to was Johnson and Johnson Peach Bath, or any peach scented shower gel. I remember it smelling so warm and clean, and it was the first thing I would smell after a nice shower. The scent that I later grew fond of was Vanilla from The Body Shop, the whole range from shower gel to body lotion. I remember it smelling so warm and delicious, and it was the last thing I would smell before going to bed. But among my favourite scent that I will forever cherish, is the smell of your home baked brownies that is made with pure love. It smells so inviting and welcoming, and it is the first smell that reminds me of home.

Smells like home
It was in wander for not lost was she. It was in wonder for without sin she walked towards the tree bearing sweet fruit enticing her forward lust sent a lumber puncture through her spine upwards it shot to the brain; cerebral forms into a beating heart. It excited her there was such freedom found in such innocence. Pulsating quivers she waited Adam to her Eve daisy chains falling from her neck framing a prepubescent chest hooks temperately fastening white knotted cotton hand sewn dress virginal white no womanhood in sight Annabelle’s life, a melody of melancholic cacophonic raspers from asylums, former patients of Briarcliff Manor residing in her; only misery innocent running’s from grave dangers of stark raving madness. For, today she wasn’t embroiled as Arden’s pet instead she was the little girl so born to be before the woman was stolen, bound by a physicians sick nightmarish re-enactments. For, today she was free a starling, passionate darling. © Sia Jane

Amables Brasas en ascuas descienden de un cielo de mosto alcanzando la carnosa fatiga de las ramas y de tus dudas Como dibujos de tinta caminan los animales en celo y un murmullo de elfos empuja hongos y furias hasta el borde del frío donde la tierra se empapa de calma y de lumbre. Es Otoño, y hay luz en tu casa Una luz antigua que me ampara y me guia, siluetas amables que invitan y esperan al que llega siempre tarde del bosque. Un suelo tibio de pisadas y hocicos crepita suave en las repisas doradas un terco ajetreo vegetal y manso se desliza bajo los pies descalzos de un corzo mudo y dorado que llena de asombro la mañana de rocio tejida. Es horizontal la intimidad entre las viñas desposeídas y los árboles insomnes. Los soles maduros acumulan sus frutas sobre el techo de la tarde y todo lo que tiembla al norte del aire se pudre mansamente hacia los tesoros de marzo. Un olor a nueces iza banderas de humo y carne de castañas exhibe el crepúsculo Una canción se esconde y se escucha y unas muchachas se persiguen y se esconden cantando un estribillo prestado por el viajero perdido. Hay voces prendidas en las ventanas que arden lentamente como adioses marchitos Es tiempo de regresos y dormidas semillas, y de animales rumiando los breves días y las largas noches henchidas de cuentos El vino más joven ya rezuma en las jarras un mosto agridulce parece exprimido del cielo No hay prisa pues la luz es lenta en llegar a las cocinas de Otoño perpetuamente encendidas con los rescoldos de los soles más viejos.

— and the rickety ferry-boat “Arden”! What an object to be called “Arden” among the great piers,—on the ever new river! “Put me a Touchstone at the wheel, white gulls, and we’ll follow the ghost of the Half Moon to the North West Passage—and through! (at Albany!) for all that!”

Tarnished Famished Far Flung Stars
Emerge tu recuerdo de la noche en que estoy. El río anuda al mar su lamento obstinado. Abandonado como los muelles en el alba. Es la hora de partir, oh abandonado! Sobre mi corazón llueven frías corolas. Oh sentina de escombros, feroz cueva de náufragos! En ti se acumularon las guerras y los vuelos. De ti alzaron las alas los pájaros del canto. Todo te lo tragaste, como la lejanía. Como el mar, como el tiempo. Todo en ti fue naufragio! Era la alegre hora del asalto y el beso. La hora del estupor que ardía como un faro. Ansiedad de piloto, furia de buzo ciego, turbia embriaguez de amor, todo en ti fue naufragio! En la infancia de niebla mi alma alada y herida. Descubridor perdido, todo en ti fue naufragio! Te ceñiste al dolor, te agarraste al deseo. Te tumbó la tristeza, todo en ti fue naufragio! Hice retroceder la muralla de sombra, anduve más allá del deseo y del acto. Oh carne, carne mía, mujer que amé y perdí, a ti en esta hora húmeda, evoco y hago canto. Como un vaso albergaste la infinita ternura, y el infinito olvido te trizó como a un vaso. Era la negra, negra soledad de las islas, y allí, mujer de amor, me acogieron tus brazos. Era la sed y el hambre, y tú fuiste la fruta. Era el duelo y las ruinas, y tú fuiste el milagro. Ah mujer, no sé cómo pudiste contenerme en la tierra de tu alma, y en la cruz de tus brazos! Mi deseo de ti fue el más terrible y corto, el más revuelto y ebrio, el más tirante y ávido. Cementerio de besos, aún hay fuego en tus tumbas, aún los racimos arden picoteados de pájaros. Oh la boca mordida, oh los besados miembros, oh los hambrientos dientes, oh los cuerpos trenzados. Oh la cópula loca de esperanza y esfuerzo en que nos anudamos y nos desesperamos. Y la ternura, leve como el agua y la harina. Y la palabra apenas comenzada en los labios. Ese fue mi destino y en él viajó mi anhelo, y en él cayó mi anhelo, todo en ti fue naufragio! Oh, sentina de escombros, en ti todo caía, qué dolor no exprimiste, qué olas no te ahogaron! De tumbo en tumbo aún llameaste y cantaste. De pie como un marino en la proa de un barco. Aún floreciste en cantos, aún rompiste en corrientes. Oh sentina de escombros, pozo abierto y amargo. Pálido buzo ciego, desventurado hondero, descubridor perdido, todo en ti fue naufragio! Es la hora de partir, la dura y fría hora que la noche sujeta a todo horario. El cinturón ruidoso del mar ciñe la costa. Surgen frías estrellas, emigran negros pájaros. Abandonado como los muelles en el alba. Sólo la sombra trémula se retuerce en mis manos. Ah más allá de todo. Ah más allá de todo. Es la hora de partir. Oh abandonado!

Wala patutunguhan sa hiwas na landas Bawat gawain ay kanyang pinupuna Tinutuligsa ang mga munting kamalian Palaging umiinit ang ulo at sumisigaw kahit marami ang nakatingin Sa ikaapat at huling taon ay sa umpok ng kumikislap na dyamante Di naman irisponsable sa klase - maayos ang mga marka Sa pagtatapos walang anino doon ng itay kaya agad lumabas ng paaralan nang walang bahid ng pagkagalak Agrikultura ang kinuhang kurso Nang ikalawang taon na sa kolehiyo'y naparool ang anluwagi - ama'y nahulog at napilay sa gusaling itinatayo Hindi natanggap ang kanyang kapalaran kaya laging tumutungga ng alak Nagpasya na huminto sa pag-aaral para may kumandili sa kanya Pinapagalitan man ay di pa rin nagawang magsawa Sadyang maliit ang lupain ng San Arden Sapagkat nakasalubong si Dessa Halata sa mga mata na mayroong kinikimkim Pagbabalisa sa gabing madilim

Al pie de tu cadáver sólo llora tu hija. Nadie te pone amor, ni flores, ni recuerdos. Desnuda estás, y sola, entre cuatro paredes altas, altas y solas, sin penas y sin duelos. Ni una silla siquiera, ni un banco en que la gente si llegara a mirarte se sentara en silencio. Arden las cuatro velas y arden las paredes con una llama fría, un apagado incendio. El hospital es tierno y son tiernas las manos que te han puesto bonita en tu vestido viejo. Tu nariz se adelgaza y tu blancura crece, se derrama en tu piel como un viento. Arañas, caen arañas del techo, caen cenizas, papeles, sombras, trapos, caen del cielo, rosas que Dios te tira, ángeles en pedazos, y sueños.

La hermana rosa
En el fondo del mar hay una casa de cristal. A una avenida de madréporas da. Un gran pez de oro, a las cinco, me viene a saludar. Me trae un rojo ramo de flores de coral. Duermo en una cama un poco más azul que el mar. Un pulpo me hace guiños a través del cristal. En el bosque verde que me circunda -din don... din dan- se balancean y cantan las sirenas de nácar verdemar. Y sobre mi cabeza arden, en el crepúsculo, las erizadas puntas del mar.

Yo en el fondo del mar
Light shades, Dark shades, What am i to wear? Lipstick, mascara, Base and nail polish, Mom in the back ground says, ' You're going to college.' **** ! I need a new bag, Also a liner by Mac. Maybelline polishes, All stacked, So many colours, But not black. I need to apply Revlon, As much as i can put on, Making my lashes prominant. 5th Avenue, Still and Elizebeth Arden, I want to wear them all, ' Oh no, i don't ' says my conscience, But then again they're scents and my heart wants them. Unzipping my wallet, ' No ', i have not much. Making the puppy dog face, ' Mom ! Can i get money to buy a base ? ' She nodded. ' Also i want perfume, liner, mascara and a nail polish. ' She gives me a look. ' Go get your money and spend them on it.' But i have no money, I say, She says,' Get a job and buy all of it.' Like a baby i sob. She ignores, Looking all bored, So she knows, I'm acting emotional then why not scold

Make up, make up and more make up !
What dreams I have had of you tonight, my dear to keep you alive and well in my head, and are you alive and well in the world? Out west somewhere, here and there, on a farm, working for food, and is the food working for you? Gotta get out to Colorado one of these days, climb a tree on the top of some mountain and gaze out at the features and structures, all far arden-like. Are you tied down tonight? By the perfectly designed sidewalks, and efficient chimney pipes, tied down by: cute suburban life, and duplicate blueprints, tied down by: pancake shacks, and sporting goods stores tied down by: someones misused, overly abused, grimy ****** string? O’ Colorado where are you tonight, and what dreams I have had of you in her absence. Colorado, where the rivers run far and wide and the mountains are all on your side. Colorado, where I lay my land to dry, and hold out my hands and cautiously cry. Colorado, where all humanity comes to drink. Colorado, where we gathered in the hills not to find wealth, purpose, or the answer. Colorado, where riches take a different form, and souls are free to mourn. Colorado, a quite, peace-driven, place… where I long to be. In the calmness of the current, in the atmosphere of river life, in the drowning of the soul and mind, in cool mountain breath, in the welcoming brook - not fearing death in the mouths of fish and under soft mossy stones in the presence of inclining slopes, and the breaking of bones, in soft pale earth with the dirt and the clay, in the tall *** woods where the deer like to play, and all the rest I forgot to say. Gotta buy me a boat and get out west one of these days. Get out on the river, and just drown my soul for awhile, live raw for awhile, beans and rice it for awhile, get down and see her for awhile. River as my friend, a cold and calculated trend. Every turn: precise Every depth: nice I’m on the river now, and the river is her.

Ronda por las orillas, desnuda, saludable, recién salida del baño, recién nacida de la noche. En su pecho arden joyas arrancadas al verano. Cubre su **** la yerba lacia, la yerba azul, casi negra, que crece en los bordes del volcán. En su vientre un águila despliega sus alas, dos banderas enemigas se enlazan, reposa el agua. Viene de lejos, del país húmedo. Pocos la han visto. Diré su secreto: de día, es una piedra al lado del camino; de noche, un río que fluye al costado del hombre.

Dama huasteca
Era el crepúsculo de la iguana. Desde la arcoirisada crestería su lengua como un dardo se hundía en la verdura, el hormiguero monacal pisaba con melodioso pie la selva, el guanaco fino como el oxígeno en las anchas alturas pardas iba calzando botas de oro, mientras la llama abría cándidos ojos en la delicadeza del mundo lleno de rocío. Los monos trenzaban un hilo interminablemente erótico en las riberas de la aurora, derribando muros de polen y espantando el vuelo violeta de las mariposas de Muzo. Era la noche de los caimanes, la noche pura y pululante de hocicos saliendo del légamo, y de las ciénagas soñolientas un ruido opaco de armaduras volvía al origen terrestre. El jaguar tocaba las hojas con su ausencia fosforescente, el puma corre en el ramaje como el fuego devorador mientras arden en él los ojos alcohólicos de la selva. Los tejones rascan los pies del río, husmean el nido cuya delicia palpitante atacarán con dientes rojos. Y en el fondo del agua magna, como el círculo de la tierra, está la gigante anaconda cubierta de barros rituales, devoradora y religiosa.

It was in wander    For not lost was she It was in wonder    For without sin she led, The tree bearing sweet fruit Enticing her    Forward. Lust sent a lumber puncture through her spine.    Upwards it shot to the brain, cerebral forms     into a red beating heart. It excited her, the Freedom found in such innocence     pulsating quivers. She waited                   Adam to her Eve daisy chains falling from her neck framing a prepubescent chest. Such tender collar Bones, hooks temperately fastening white knotted cotton, hand sewn dress virginial White. Annabelle's life, a melody of                    melancholic cacophonic raspers, from asylums. Former patients; Briarcliff Manor residing in her; misery. Innocent runnings from grave Dangers of,                    stark raving madness. For, today, she wasn't embroiled                    as Arden's pet. Instead she was the little girl so born to be, before the woman was stolen bound by a physicians sick nightmarish reenactments. For, today she was Free.         a starling                        passionate                                          darling. © Sia Jane

Follow me to a paradise not many have seen before a kind that welcomes newcomers with its natural allure Step through the iron gate with me, witness a scene like Arden and feel the awe that comes with seeing my beloved secret garden The vines will greet you as you enter, brushing your skin as you come Blossoms will turn toward you as if you were as warm as the sun Cacti will hunger and thirst for your kind and gentle touch as if they've lived in the desert and it all became too much But one must not relish in this beauty for too long because anything abused past its use is just simply wrong The vines will constrict you, you'll burn as hot as the sun and suffer of constant ****** from the cacti you once loved So, with this I warn you before you enter my piece of Eden that this grace comes with a price as you begin to weaken

Secret Garden
Right now I regenerate in time capsules of Elizabeth Arden Ceramides and tomorrow I shall look myself again like the picture I keep in my head

REgeneration
I felt so sad as I took a jar of paper stars from the top shelf of my school locker and held it close to my chest as I walked down the halls and I knew you were watching... Arden. You just didn't do anything. You knew what it was like to cling to life the same way you hung from death, like it was some kind of sick game. However, this is not a one player kind of match now, is it? I powerwalked through the halls once, wanting so much to die. I had no plans, just a few ideas. You know, I didn't consider hanging myself in my mind to be a "plan to die" because I didn't actually write out the plans, I just thought about them a little too much. I answered "No." when asked if I made plans to **** myself, because in my mind, I really didn't make plans. When asked if I was homicidal, I don't remember what I said, but I remember not saying "no". I remember that I've imagined punishing people, but never killing people. I want to hold their lives in my grasp and hear them apologize like they actually mean it. But I am too nice for that. Too Christian for that. It takes a strong person to lift weights, but a stronger one to lift the personal weight off your own back. I've thought about retiring my poetry career 10 years too early, not even making it to my mid-twenties before quitting simply because there were too many people too eager to get offended at my work. I will not play innocent to your sickly made games. I am no fool. Although, I will not retire my poetry career just yet. Because every time I feel the urge to quit, I am here at 3:22am writing long strings of poetry. Arden's gonna have a fricken sleeve of tattoos. Alex is gonna have pain. Baer is gonna have me taking care of her sister. But who really cares about that? Because Arden's gonna have something. Arden has friends, education, teachers, a job, a life. Arden's gonna have love. Arden's gonna have fuckin' love. Alex is not going to beg for my jaw unhinged from all the fighting. Alex will not bend. No sir. Baer has hired me as the worlds worst babysitter, and her sister, only a few years younger than I already holds me to a higher standard than most. But Arden has more to life than me. There's no comparison. I too, want to die when I'm not staying up this late to escape my thanatophobia. I will not live to see Arden's graduation. But I will live to see the hurricane that comes after it. I don't feel special Baer. But no one really needs to know that.

No. I don't feel special

there's strange fruit hanging from the tree we planted in the garden those giant eggplants i can see in cloth wrapped, burnt and hardened the white ghosts cooked them on the vine while chanting blasphemies in time to metered prose of Tennyson's E. Arden (C)2012, Christos Rigakos

there's strange fruit hanging from the tree
Not an ounce of anger nor arden rage which typically fill the pages. There’s a subtle calm causing such hesitation; a sense of being stuck. -Restless, drifting in a sea of tranquility.
