überganges

Post by Arcadia »

A lonely cuban cow
wanders in an out of the tv set:
her eyes, the ideas of love and civilization
freeze and melt
in martian palm seas.

Do I imagine music?

In a sport spin,
the olive man
invoques suns, camels, lions, kids
and this time fails
and this time reads.

Una solitaria vaca cubana
deambula entrando y saliendo del televisor:
sus ojos, las ideas acerca del amor y la civilización
se congelan y se derriten
en palmeras y mares martianos.

Imagino música?

En una especie de revuelo deportivo
el hombre oliva
invoca soles, camellos, leones, chicos
y esta vez se equivoca
y esta vez lee.

Very gentle, sweet, Arcadia.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

this, and the last few poems you've posted are really well-done -- original and expressive.
