"matsuo" poems
Oh, my Medusa
That piercing, seductive stare
Gets me so rock hard.
"braullw nevae falls"
That's 'braille never fails',
Spelled by a blind man.
Matsuo Basho
Turns in his grave: first, five times
then seven, then five.
The dankest of ****
Floats slowly into my lungs
Oh wait...Asbestos.
hahaha ye boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
yeyeyeyeye ye boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The temple bell stops -
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.

"Go to the pine if you want to learn about pine"
Matsuo Bashō
How long is falling the autumn
leaf
torn of the too long
summer.
And in the high pines
with their bodies defending
the sky against
the earth
the steel edge of the winter
is breaking in two.
Both you
and me
toss both
the time and
the wind
in pines propped up
back to
back.
And the pines recognized us.

"Oh, tranquility
Penetrating the very rock,
A cicada's voice."
Matsuo Basho
I was broken, how much do I have to say?
my first taste of the air, a tornado
I wear my mind full of cracks, of strange attractors,
the chaos of the blue lives there,
some collage of potting soil and beauty
my tears are round like an explosion
my hips an extension of tenderness
I was broken beyond despair beyond repair
white birds in my smile going to far away places
in search for their shape
when nobody sees me my hands are full of laughter, of dance, of forgetting, no need to take myself too seriously
I am broken and I like to feel
my fragments caressed by
the morning air, by his sleepy hands,
or the passersby's careless looks

Cuando los japoneses adquirieron
el rockefeller center
ellos que tienen geishas y la sony
y samurais y teatro no
y kamikazes y kurosawa
y matsuo basho y panasonic
y aprenden flamenco por computadora
y pueden cantar tangos sin entender palabra
cuando los japoneses adquirieron
el rockefeller center
supe que por fin había empezado
la sutilísima la dulce
venganza de hiroshima
