… the unreal half-artistic professions, which, while they pretend to be close to art, in practice deny and attack the existence of all art - as, for example, all of journalism does and almost all criticism…
R. M. Rilke.
LA MESA
AS SHE SPOKE TO ME
I WAS WRITING
Your face has
The perfect constellations
El silencio es una ventana
Para encontrar tesoros
Personal movements bring
Drops of revelry
Y las sonrisas
Se reparan
Con proteínas
Your eyes
Are crystals
Better than diamonds
Tus brazos
Y tus piernas
Son como
El mar
Pero viven
En las nubes
Del deseo
Your beauty
Is tall enough
To reach
My solar system
