la soledad
ruido de fondo
esparciéndose
la narrativa hablada
revelándose como tejido
de corrientes cruzadas
sagrado nacimiento
de una voz
que ilumina
sin decir luz
que libera
sin decir libertad
que ama
sin decir amor

virreina diamante mañana fría
revolución solar expectativa
tú en la líquida primavera
inaguantable incontenible
miseria la noche
una cortina flotando
inconexas sedas falsas
sobre el remolino de tu piel
oxígeno puro
buscando una llama
empujando verdades hacia lo alto
haciendo de cada velo
un camino aparte
que llevará a aquel día
cuando ya es posible
este ser fluido que somos

siglos en espera
buscando utopías
inmensas cálidas
donde la sombra es sol
y el sol lluvia
de fértiles contingencias
un amor arquitecto
de mares sin fondo

voz en alarma
diez días de viaje
la esperanza

clarity moving over land
like soft light
remembering & not

Helium.com :: Poetry is the frontier where language in use comes in contact with future meaning, and in the process, when best executed, brings a wealth of transcendent truths into the present. Poetry is relevant to all uses of language, though there may be trends that suggest popular culture is looking to new forms of poetic activity to replace specific old models: many musical artists now play the role of mythic historian or wandering troubadour, but poetry is not confined to these purposes.

Poetry now resides in subtler places in more intricate and interrelated forms. It seeps into political discourse, into rap, into the dialogue between two characters on a movie screen, often for brief moments, then pushed aside by a mass of prose and fact and circumstance. But this is not new and it is not hazardous to poetry’s survival as a concentrated art-form fashioning new molds and opening new horizons.
