WHO IT WILL BE


Outside
In the night
On the vastness of the sky
The four stars
Form a boxing ring

I know who the winner is
Who it was
Who it will be again

I breathe
Winter in
Exhale it
Like cigarette smoke

I know who is triumphant
I know who it was
Who it will be again

HOPE


Desperation makes the rhythm
Of death a constant drumming

The beat on life
A funky dance
Swimming in music
Is how the tune goes

Walking on the water of your madness
Fishing the debris in your drink
A whirlpool on the rocks

Even your language becomes beautiful
When you are dying

New names are given
With such a baptism
New hopes of reaching the free world

la cama mexicana



es un lugar donde se esconden

las palabras que se cruzaron


las que se tropezaron

en los accidentes de la intención


las risas ocasionadas

por una comedia secreta


las decisiones

de origen clandestino

los pensamientos fracturados


una maquina descompuesta

que produce resultados profesionales


consecuencias ejecutivas

que viven en el rechinar

de la madera de tu casa


duermes en un 3

y que bueno que no es un 4


duermes con la seducción

del árbol del mundo


nunca he dormido en el 1

me parece incómodo

y muy peligroso


duermes con el encanto

del cuchillo del cazador


duermes con el lobo desangrado

y su lengua cortada


tejido lacerado

que tiñe la nieve de rojo


duermes en la homeostasis

de tu deseo


en el sepulcro de tu astucia

duermes en esta cama

en este árbol rotundo

WATER


Are you going to write about rain?
A question like any other -I thought

I decided to write about rain
But the idea of water
Is the same
As the beginning

And the rain
Brings down water
Like the substance
That surrounds
The roundness of the world

Water is my love
Water is my life
Water is my death
My way to God

Water is your mouth
Water is your lips
Water is your love
That's what I thought

MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE


The current of words
Clashes with the songs
Of morning mass

I put the book down
Alongside the other papers

They look so good together
As if they were going
To get married

The song of the bird
Can be transmitted
Through the wire
Where he stands

Through the grid of the world
Transportation of sound
Musical knowledge

With a feeling
That can only be imported
Through your eyes
