Poems
   
Precocious incidence
Howled of flames


You will see each corpse
Dying of another death


Living in english
And speaking of Ireland


The prisoner is the jail
The slave is the master

 
   
IMAGINE THAT!
Poems
   
 
last night
a classmate told me
in a very sweet voice
'you should write a poem in english'
I just smiled at her and said
'why not? maybe one day. I can handle it'
actually thinking that my english
is worse than my poetry


today
at noon
evening was coming
very very fast
I was spending my time
and my last $5 bill
into a noisy bar on Colón Ave.
drinking some beer
wishing the next bottle
were colder and longer
I thought of her
thought about this fucking thing
keeping in touch with my visions
and that very moment
I realised writing in english
is no good for my poetry
it needs a lot of 'o' ending words
like joni mitchell's needs
as I have read on a magazine
on the other hand
what could I write about?
some people are killing
some other people in rwanda
far away from here
most of them are relatives
they are killing each other
because of a piece of truth
and I thought
not so far from here
just two or three seconds away
from this nasty bar
silence is killing many more people
silence is killing
too many more people
 
     
 
SILENCE
Poems
     
 
Father took me farther
To listen to the silence
And the bells.

But when I turned my head
We had been apart.
Two crossed trees

Know what I speak about.
And the sudden fog.
And the whole night.

 
     
 
He who loves not his country can love nothing.
