He told me I could search the world over and I would never find anything anywhere quite like him
I'm a Leo
So I took that as a challenge and headed out on a journey
I returned to his door two and a half years later triumphant
When he opened his door I stated with pride "I did it!"
"Prove it." he demanded quietly leaning against his door frame, looking, both intrigued and unconvinced.
I took off my back pack, set it on the step, reached in, carefully withdrew a mason jar and passed it to him.
"What's this?" he asked
"You."
"It's an empty mason jar."
"It's not at all empty. It's filled to the brim with all the stuff you're made of."
"Oh? What kind of stuff?"
" Inside that bottle is the magic of a rainbow I found in Greenland, star light I found in the North West Territories, wind from each of the four corners, air that's been caressed by butterfly wings from St. Lucia, sun beams from Samoa, the innocence of a newborn from Uruguay, the passion of a gypsy from Romania, the heat of a thunder bolt from South Carolina, the fragrance of the first bloom of summer from England, the poetic joy of Ireland, and one salty tear of a mermaid from Fiji. You." I said again triumphantly
"All that's in here, eh?"
I nodded.
"Well, you must be tired, being right can be exhausting." he said with a grin as he reached out for my hand
"It is and I am." I admitted placing my hand in his
"Would you like to come in?"
" Yes, I would like to come in. I'd like that very much."

The Randomness of things
is inexcusable
How randomly we meet
and part our ways
We fall apart
estranged from what we loved
For no reason at all
and no governing rules
Fresh meat becomes
Leftovers of tomorrow
Fresh love is turned
into a surge of pain
The randomness of days
is inexcusable
How randomly the night
steals us away
And never to return
from its mysterious depth
our eyes
get adjusted to the dark

My blood is marked by genocide
on the two sides
of these Atlantic lines
My fate was sealed with the blood stains
of cotton workers from Marash
slaughtered by the ottoman
and the mixed blood
of conquerors
and massacred
of masters and estranged slaves
The rot of colonialism
lurks underneath
our 15 second democracy
My eyes were numbed
by what I hadn´t seen
after the ***** war was over
after the bowels of the Earth
had vomited
bones in Uruguay
lifeless infant mummies
in the soft heart
of Africa
after the tide brought in
the loot
of generals,
green men of power and no shame
My past was carved with knives
on children´s bones
in the mountains
of Leninakan
with hanged peasants
on the slopes of Ararat
My human pride was dumped
in Rio de la Plata
one summer night
in a death flight
that time when I
had learnt to sing
before I grasped
the word
The word was born
from the colonial rot
under our soil
and under Africa
The word was black
and cast a deadly storm
before the sun
The word was Genocide

**I waited long
I waited hard
I sunk real low
I used
The Bard
You tease
You taunt
You lure
You flaunt
But most of all
To me
You haunt
Unleash your soul
Tell the tale
Give me wind
Beneath my sails
For I am partial
To the gossips
Of wanton lustful fun
Come on guys
Bare your souls
Your secret should be spun !!!**
*I'll never tell
of what went right
Where fireworks exploded
and we rocked the night
I'll not breathe a word
of lascivious acts
that went on unwarranted
that had us both on our backs
I won't whisper
a lie
I won't tell
and you won't cry
I'll not ever utter
that the earthquake
in Uruguay
was caused by an evening
of Outback fun
Take on an Aussie chick?
Well, be prepared to come undone
oppsss.... I told! UmAh!*

so you write a lot,
pouring entire waking existences,
current n' prior,
into a long and crafted 'pistles,
and pixels
and you got jive pride
and then, the poem,
you worked so hard for,
ups and dies
gets a few middling fingers of reads,
dying on a vining of
Juliet's pseudo poisoning elixir,
no big deal, happens all the time
but here's what's wielding & weirdly wilding:
***A poetpourri.
of newly found co-inhabitors,
from around the universe,
from places unpronounceable,
unlike Venus & Mars, (very poet-popular)
and from previously places were
never or seldom was heard a
discouraging word, igniting a
rewarded mutuality of a
following up embracing***
par example;
Tirunelveli
Poland
Lisbon
Cyprus
Bihar
Uruguay
Ankara
Vienna
Albania
Tanzania
India
Bangladesh
New Zealand/Australia
Soldotna (Alaska)
plus Texas, West Va., Ohio, and other exotica, like
Nowhere
what a blessing!
Blessed art Thou o Lord,
that permits the miracle that my integers
of 0 & 1
can be translated into such
varied exotica, in harmony,
thus permitting this discovery of
never visited oceans and landfalls
of poetry never heretofore to join as
one.
Aman.

Orillas del Uruguay
una piedra encontré hoy
aplastada, redondita,
y de encendido color:
pequeña obra maestra
de agua, de viento -y de sol.
Y decidí recogerla
y usarla como reloj.
El mismo peso me hace
que la máquina mejor,
la compañía es idéntica
y guarda el mismo calor.
Lo miro de vez en cuando,
y es tan grande la ilusión,
que veo unas manecillas
y los signos de rigor.
Al que pregunta la hora
se la invento y se la doy.
Me equivoco por minutos,
que no es equivocación,
que el tiempo no está en esferas
sino a nuestro alrededor:
en la orla de una nube,
en el cáliz de una flor,
en nuestras entrañas mismas,
en algo como un temblor.
Le doy cuerda al acostarme
y con toda precaución,
entre libros y anteojos
lo pongo en el velador
y antes de dormir parece
que escucho cierto rumor.
No sé si son los segundos,
esa arenilla veloz,
o acaso la vocecilla
del río que lo pulió.
Ante mi reloj de piedra
no tengo más que un temor:
si se me llega a romper,
¿a qué relojero voy?
Sólo pueden componerlo
ojos y dedos de Dios.

She thought this would be easy
Fun to be sure
Exciting and dangerous
Naturally of course
The *** was amazing
At all times of the day
In backseats and parking lots
Oh what a treat
Time moved forward
And things got close
Feelings came into play
And everything changed
Thoughts of running away
Uruguay sounded cool
Fantasy would be fulfilled
Reality hit hard
Decisions where made
Sadness and emptyness
The new flavour of the day
A taste she's remembers well

I'd prefer my politicians
didn't belly laugh, chuckle
or gosh gee shucks after
proposing to deprive 24
million folks of health care
especially of course when
along with that they've
suggested huge tax benefits
for the already rich,
& I'd really prefer my politicians
to be like the president in
Uruguay who drove an old
jalopy & lived in a shack but
I guess I'm just too much of a
dreamer aren't I & for lords sake
how naive can I be?

la poesía
debe ser hecha por todos
y no por uno, dijo
esas cosas solamente las puede decir un francés
rengo
que nadie sabe que hizo en la comuna de parís
nadie sabe si se murió o no pudo
todos se acuerdan de cuando tocaba el piano
hasta altas horas del almita
molestando a los vecinos que después tenían que ir a trabajar
y se iban de la pensión mal dormidos
pensando en la madre del pianoeta o poenista
hablando pestes de ella cada vez que tropezaban con las piedras
o los fríos de las calles de parís
lo peor es que tenía un acorde en la cabeza
y no se lo podían sacar
se la pasaban fundiendo hierro soplando vidrio
y no se podían sacar el acorde del rengo
el rengo les había hecho un acorde en la cabeza
y por allí pasaban furias, mañanitas, agüeros
una vez a un ferroviario le paso un pajarito por ahí
el pajarito volaba al futuro con un papel que decía futuro en el pico
la cuestión es que los vecinos del rengo
tenían cara de piano en la mitad del atardecer
caían músicas de ellos o teclas de oro
donde empezaba el horizonte
una mujer bellísima cantaba
en la cabeza de los vecinos del rengo
que en realidad no era francés
más bien era uruguayo
solamente a un uruguayo se le puede ocurrir
que la poesía debe ser hecha por todos
y no por uno
que es como decir que la tierra
es de todos y no solamente de uno
que el sol no es de uno
que el amor es de todos y de nadie
como el aire
y la muerte es de todos
y la vida
no tiene dueño conocido
vos no eras rengo
l'autréamont
lo que pasó es que dejaste Uruguay
se te cayó un pedazo que
toca el piano y no deja dormir

Había una vez un poeta portugués
tenía cuatro poetas adentro y vivía muy preocupado
trabajaba en la administración pública y dónde se vio que un empleado público de portugal
gane para alimentar cuatro bocas
Cada noche pasaba lista a sus poetas incluyéndose a sí
mismo
uno estiraba la mano por la ventana y le caían astros allí
otro escribía cartas al sur qué están haciendo del sur
decía
De mi uruguay
decía
el otro se convirtió en un barco que amó a los marineros
esto es bello porque no todos los barcos hacen así
hay barcos que prefieren mirar por el ojo de buey
Hay barcos que se hunden
Dios camina afligido por el fenómeno ése
es que no todos los barcos se parecen a los poetas del portugués
salían del mar y se secaban los huesitos al sol
Cantando la canción de tus pechos
amada
cantaban que tus pechos llegaron una tarde con
una escolta de horizontes
eso cantaban los poetas del portugués para decir que te amo
antes de separarse
tender la mano al cielo
escribir cartas al uruguay
Que mañana van a llegar
mañana van a llegar las cartas del portugués y barrerán la tristeza
mañana va a llegar el barco del portugués al puerto de montevideo
siempre supo que entraba en ese puerto y se volvía más
hermoso
Como los cuatro poetas del portugués cuando se preocupaban
todos juntos por el hombre de la tabaquería de enfrente
el animal de sueños del hombre de la tabaquería de enfrente
galopando con como josé gervasio de artigas por el hambre mundial
El portugués tenía cuatro poetas mirando al sur
al norte
al muro
al cielo les daba a todos de comer con el sueldo del alma
él se ganaba el sueldo en la administración del país público
y también mirando el mar que va de lisboa al uruguay
Yo siempre estoy olvidando cosas
una vez me olvidé un ojo en la mitad de una mujer
otra vez me olvidé una mujer en la mitad de portugués
me olvidé el nombre del poeta portugués
De lo que no me olvido es de su barco navegando hacia el sur
de su manita llena de astros
golpeando contra la furia del mundo
con el hombre de enfrente en la mano

From his coronet, through his tendons and right up to his crest
When you looked at his withers you could see he was best
His tail was magnificent and hung past his hock
He was blessed with three white ones and a single black sock.
The horse was a Crioulo that had come from Uruguay
I fell for the majesty of this horse I would buy
He was the colour of buckskin with a black tail and mane
And the dun gene line backed him with a long thin black stain.
He stood fifteen hands and he ran like a king
Astride him made me want to just burst out and sing
I raced over fields and I took him over fence
He knew what I asked of him, he had so much sense.
I loved him for thirty fours years from a colt
And when he took his last breath it gave me a jolt
But I’ll never forget Samson, for that was his name
He let me ride on him but he was only ‘so’ tame.

How refreshing to experience
a reprieve from sultry weather
when hazy, hot,

unleashes a very short sweaty tether.
