A B C D E e cummings

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
pd: a veces no me importa tanto saber quién soy

qué nos van a hablar de amor

para mi gran amiga lillì

Ephemera
 
 'YOUR eyes that once were never weary of mine
Are bowed in sotrow under pendulous lids,
Because our love is waning.'
                                                And then She:
'Although our love is waning, let us stand
By the lone border of the lake once more,
Together in that hour of gentleness
When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep.
How far away the stars seem, and how far
Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!'

Pensive they paced along the faded leaves,
While slowly he whose hand held hers replied:
'Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.'

The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves
Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once
A rabbit old and lame limped down the path;
Autumn was over him: and now they stood
On the lone border of the lake once more:
Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves
Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes,
In bosom and hair.
                                 'Ah, do not mourn,' he said,
'That we are tired, for other loves await us;
Hate on and love through unrepining hours.
Before us lies eternity; our souls
Are love, and a continual farewell.' 

William Butler Yeats

words

Be careful of words,
even the miraculous ones. 
For the miraculous we do our best,  
sometimes they swarm like insects  
and leave not a sting but a kiss.  
They can be as good as fingers.  
They can be as trusty as the rock  
you stick your bottom on.  
But they can be both daisies and bruises.  
Yet I am in love with words.  
They are doves falling out of the ceiling.  
They are six holy oranges sitting in my lap.  
They are the trees, the legs of summer,  
and the sun, its passionate face.  
Yet often they fail me.  
I have so much I want to say,  
so many stories, images, proverbs, etc.  
But the words aren't good enough,  
the wrong ones kiss me.  
Sometimes I fly like an eagle  
but with the wings of a wren.  
But I try to take care  and be gentle to them.  
Words and eggs must be handled with care.  
Once broken they are impossible  
things to repair.
Anne Sexton

cut & paste (bolero + la lenta máquina del desamor)

Qué vanidad imaginar
que puedo darte todo, el amor y la dicha,
itinerarios, música, juguetes.
Es cierto que es así:
todo lo mío te lo doy, es cierto,
pero todo lo mío no te basta
como a mí no me basta que me des
todo lo tuyo.

Por eso no seremos nunca
la pareja perfecta, la tarjeta postal,
si no somos capaces de aceptar
que sólo en la aritmética
el dos nace del uno más el uno.

Por ahí un papelito
que solamente dice:

Siempre fuiste mi espejo,
quiero decir que para verme tenía que mirarte.

(...)

y de pie ante el espejo interrogándose
cada uno a sí mismo,
ya no mirándose entre ellos,
ya no desnudos para el otro,
ya no te amo,
mi amor.

Julio Cortázar

you know

In just a minute we will say goodbye 
I will drive away and see you 
Cross the boulevard in the rear view mirror 
Maybe you will make out the back of my head 
Disappearing in the traffic 
And then we will never see one another ever again 

It will happen in just another minute now
