"contracorriente" poems
Tus ojos son como peces.
A la deriva, me observan
un instante, indiferentes.
Tus ojos son como peces
huidizos. Si me encuentran,
dan un giro de repente.
Tus ojos son como peces.
Casi como si me vieran
flotan curiosos enfrente.
Tus ojos son como peces
que para encontrar mis ojos
nadan a contracorriente.

Apparently, it was like an apparition
He eyed me, ***** in his wilderness
Heaving me to the haven of his handsomeness
Him, my male, my marvelous malediction
His Eye seeing my I inside the aperture
Of his “camera’’, when our room was nature
But plunged in the ocean of his sea, see
Like two heroes wrestling on the coastline
We rose naked, his fingertips skimmed my spine
Between skies and waters, with our furious epitome
We made love to the waves, alike Eteocles
The current circling our chromatic compositions
Our tongues watery, our limbs exhausted
In this hopeless happiness, we stroke our passions
On the rough wood of Pan’s harp, oh Polynices!
Cursed by a kiss, blessed by a blow and exulted
By the smooth summits of our souls and bodies
Seduced by the sweetest sin, singing our silent rhapsodies
My name is Miguel, I am not Michael the archangel
But he certainly was. In the warmth of
the wave lays my angel.
