CENIZAS DE RETÓRICA

ASHES OF RHETORIC

I have wrapped my rhetoric in ash

Two mirrors two twilights and a burning stain upon the horizon

This is all an absurd generation worshippers of plastic and glass

An atrocious moon to be framed in disposable aluminum foil

Beloved woman is a loving white trill a transparent night’s embrace

Mirrors swords and circumferences dwell within my solitary nights

In every colorless sleepless night

Another mirage melting in the desert

It is my fingers that distill epochs empires and libraries

From my pupils every horizon sprouts

I laugh because I know we shall hate each other forever unto the last Cartesian limit

I sketch a brief but convulsing apocalypse cruel scarlet red

I yawn an entire generation of idiots transvestites of crystal and misery

A clumsy hideous gorilla parading with an umbrella over a rainbow

Amphibian anxiety for the tragic end so sing the frogs

My hands feverishly gathering the rope of judgment glow in flashes

Every scream I wish to fix in one final frame appears

To steal from the window of your mouth the word that surges from passion

From the lukewarm passion of the flesh

Sweet exile from this world textured with tedium and stupidity

The descent of civilizations into the intestine of the abyss

A body fasting from hope

Letters dripping falling slow and heavy like pitch One by one they turn into red toxic Martian sand

They become a book and stroll across my eyelashes

Man-locomotive lost and gone astray

A howl that tears the purple of the sky

I write, no there were no minutes only heartbeats

An indecipherable sign that longs to become a bird

Shadow sliding pixel by pixel

Errant the Fausts of my puberty parade by Satyrs flutes melodies all my strayed songs Necromancing counterfeiters standing on every corner of the world

Imitators of prehistoric reptiles carnivorous beggars

Worshippers of every shadow

My masked life more subterranean

The torment of a giant mill a giant torment Poplar avenues overflowing filling with infinite waters

Another great necessary flood I can sense with my nostrils

A resentment driven like a dagger into the crust of the earth

Passions flinging themselves off ravines like parabolic swine

Flaws as well-placed and fixed as a tangent There is no grammar that can hold

Because upon my lip dwells the proverb and the sword

Where the sun and all the planets are born

My bronze ancestors already precede it Sacrifices crawling over flint

A wild orchard drunk on blood

Doubts clouds incense

Feathers on wild dark heads

Savage footprints fertilizing disputed territories with corpses

Claws clutching their stubborn and aberrant ignorance

You shall not prevail

No other world for you

This was the sad rehearsal of life in anathema grammar

A disaster of corrupt ink hurled at the landscape

This was the tragic confused aberrant dream of Adam

Indigestion from a rotten apple bitten stolen
