bird in the ocean sun
not only the images
of the world
make of human eyes
springs of salty water
words in the midst
of traffic
can touch the most
untouchable of hearts
igniting respect
for new formations
in the sky
truly memorizing
your skin
with every touch

better
it was better
to sleep some more
than to rise up
like some kind
of silly revolution
it was better
to dream
about making love
than to put
my shoes on
and try to look serious
it was better
to turn towards the other side
and try to find out
if i could understand you
upside down

intelligently
you fall intelligently
that's what I like about you
she said
then i remembered
the last time
i was on the dance floor
i saw you
looking at me
on the walls
i thought
i would never
see you again
a wrong thought
i also knew
some of the dancers
would never make it
she continued:
you are okay
as you are
since i known you
you have not changed

ocean loop
the man in black
has the red & white
water cooler
he walks with it
on the dilapidated sidewalk
the carné disappeared
and it was replaced
in 7 days
on it
there are many reptiles & birds
vegetation & water
the lady with purple pans
throws the coffee cup
in the garbage can

nada
la nada
hace daño
hiere y lastima
tiene ponzoña
veneno de sobra
vuela entre engaños
tiene alas que se desintegran
aterriza en espejismos
como de mosca
de alas locas
de vida corta
ser sucio
contaminación en marcha
la nada siempre culpable

MAGAZINE
At the post office
There’s an image
On the counter
One invitation
To a dance
I inhale deeply
Then I exhale
This is what exercise is for
I don’t have the desire for it
But I know the steps
Somebody told me
That nowadays
People are 10 years younger
I hope they are right

PANCAKES
This morning
Seemed perfect
To make pancakes
I mixed the batter
By hand
First with a spoon
Then with a fork
I lit the burner
And used a little oil
On the pan
Added more water
To the mix
And worked it
Some more
I poured it
On the hot surface
The heat
Made it looked
Like the moon
