let it kill you

Max Ernst

through every night
it kills me
your endless trace
which I follow
from body to body
in this maze

to seek harmony
in your power of individuality,
 flavor and sensuality

in another
midnight ride
i'm looking for her again
looking for her tonight

sipping
all the nectar
to burn memories
in a new distress
all life on the edge
but never look down
never look down
or cease to find love
a cure too pure
too vain
in this gain

divinity in wilderness (mi divinidad del desierto circular)

winds of Fedra,

in rage

whistling 

through a somber stage

we stare

through her ethereal visions,

the past will now asunder 

with fair devilish precision

from where our human fragility

crumbled

and humbled us 

to ease 

an unholy litany

the only sound in the air

breathes in our spirits, invisible and fair

muttering 

through savage's homes

and underground passages

into a shelter made of dry bones

we leave the offerings 

to praise  

homewards, where this thirst still burns

envoys from beyond 

deny us nothing

nothing is more 

than sand 

slipping through 

my hand

since 

i saw you around

a heart attack , a glass house 

were the hurt and rust is kept

feed the flow 

of the soundscapes 

in mighty landscapes

to astound

the merry priests 

in timeless images of their feasts

a rite of alchemists

to evoke her solemnly

into us

a map of souls

written in ancient scrolls

large scrolls that we recite

as we traversed through the halls

-to where all queens once dwell

 

a esfinge de calipso

um sonho lúcido

para libertar

 as almas num voo de pombas

entre as fissuras das muralhas

que nos impedem de amar.

i

As harpias

cantam 

os versos enfeitiçados.

A neve caí

sobre os corpos cansados. 

Madressilvas

entregues aos ventos

na aurora-boreal do esquecimento.

ii

O mistério esse permanece

adensando-se, incógnito

e o seu coração 

é um livro caro leitor,

um livro que vos tento descrever. 

A loba mãe e a filha

que nos bosques 

devoram todos os comuns homens,

a quem lhes fizeram

promessas de imortalidade.
