nobis cum semel occidit breuis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.

the other guineahen
died of a broken heart and we came to New York.
I used to sit at a table,drawing wings
with a pencil that kept breaking and i kept
remembering how your mind looked when it slept
for several years,to wake up asking why.
So then you turned into a photograph

of somebody who’s trying not to laugh
at somebody who’s trying not to cry

E.E. Cummings

Siento haber de dejar deshabitado
cuerpo que amante espíritu ha ceñido;
desierto un corazón siempre encendido,
donde todo el Amor reinó hospedado.

Yo ansí, náufrago amante y peregrino,
que en borrasca de amor por Lisis muero,
sigo insano furor de alto destino.

Llama que a la inmortal vida trasciende,
ni teme con el cuerpo sepultura,
ni el tiemnpo la marchita ni la ofende.
