Hablo con

tiburones,

dioses del océano.

Es una lengua,

nadie ha hablado

alguna vez antes.

Sombras

en las profundidades.

(I speak with sharks, ocean gods. It is a language no one has ever spoken before. Shadows in the deep.)

azucar en crudo, raw sugar, sorrow

Puro o pervertida.

Una transformación.

Nuestra tristeza.

Nuestra pasión.

Esta cosa buena.

Hundimiento

dentro de usted.

Pulgada por pulgada.

Gloriosa.

En nuestra sangre.

Si soy malsano

para usted,

soy azúcar en crudo.

Algo dulce.

Una felicidad.

Hundimiento

profundamente

dentro de usted.

 

 

(Pure or perverted. A transformation. Our sadness. Our passion. This good thing. Sinking into you. Inch by inch. Glorious. In our blood. If I am unhealthy for you, I’m raw sugar. Something sweet. A happiness. Sinking deep within you)

Mis oscuros

delirios,

sucumbiendo

ante tus ansias.

Tuve la recompensa

de tu culo,

algo yo podría

hundir mis

dientes en.

 

mis oscuros delirios

(My dark delusions, succumbing to your cravings. I had the reward of your ass, something I could sink my teeth into.)

Hoy. Usted escribe.

Mis dedos recorren

en todo tu cuerpo.

Tu coño empapado,

en mis manos,

un rebosante copa.

Se abre una hendidura

mojada. Mi lengua

es difícil,

penetrante,

convocando

esta loco

cosecha.

El vino

de placer

en tu cuerpo

causando

espasmos

y gemidos.

Hoy.

el poeta en el trabajo

(Today. You write. My fingers roam throughout your body. Your pussy drenched in my hands, a brimming cup. A wet slit opens. My tongue is hard, penetrating, summoning this crazy harvest. The wine of pleasure in your body causing spasms and moans. Today.)

Gabriela Mistral, la cabelluda, Spanish, the shaggy woman, translation

LA CABELLUDAY
Y vimos madurar violenta
a la vestida, a la tapada
y vestida de cabellera.
Y la amamos y la seguimos
y por amada se la cuenta.
A la niña cabelluda
la volaban toda entera
sus madejas desatentadas
como el pasto de las praderas.
Pena de ojos asombrados,
pena de boca y risa abierta.
Por cabellos de bocanada,
de altos mástiles y de banderas.
Rostro ni voz ni edad tenía
sólo pulsos de llama violenta,
ardiendo recta o rastreando
como la zarza calenturienta.
En el abrazo nos miraba
y nos paraba de la sorpresa
el corazón. Cruzando el llano
a más viento más se crecía
la tentación de sofocar
o de abajar tamaña hoguera.
Y si ocurría que pararse
de repente en las sementeras,
se volvía no sé qué Arcángel
reverberando de su fuego.
Más confusión, absurdo y grito
verla dormida en donde fuera.
El largo fuego liso y quieto
no era retama ni era centella.
¿Qué sería ese río ardiendo
y bajo el fuego, qué hacía ella?
Detrás de su totoral
o carrizal, viva y burlesca,
existía sin mirarnos
como quien burla y quien husmea
sabiendo todo de nosotros,
pero sin darnos respuesta …
Mata de pastos nunca vista,
cómo la hacía sorda y ciega.
No recordamos, no le vimos
frente, ni espaldas, ni hombreras,
ni vestidos estrenados,
sólo las manos desesperadas
que ahuyentaban sus cabellos
partiéndose como mimbrera.
Una sola cosa de viva
y la misma cosa de muerta.
Galanes la cortejaban
por acercársela y tenerla
un momento separando
mano terca y llama en greñas,
y se dejaba sin dejarse,
verídica y embustera.
Al comer no se la veía
ni al tejer sus lanas sueltas.
Sus cóleras y sus gozos
se le quedaban tras esas rejas.
Era un cerrado capullo denso,
almendra apenas entreabierta.
Se quemaron unos trigales
en donde hacía la siesta;
y a los pinos chamuscaba
con sólo pasarles cerca.
Se le quemaron día a día
carne, huesos, y linfas frescas,
todo caía a sus pies,
pero no su cabellera.
Quisieron ponerla abajo,
apagarla con la tierra.
En una caja de cristales
pusimos su rojo cometa.
Esas dulces quemaduras
que nos pintan como a cebras.
La calentura del estío,
lo dorado de nuestros ojos
o lo rojo de nuestra lengua.
Son los aniversarios
de los velorios y las fiestas,
de la niña entera y ardiente
que sigue ardiendo bajo la tierra.
Cuando ya nos acostemos
a su izquierda o a su diestra,
tal vez será arder siempre
brillar como red abierta,
y por ella no tener frío
aunque se muera nuestro planeta.

THE SHAGGY WOMAN
We watched her grow up bestial,
hidden, cloaked,
arrayed in her naked locks and curls.
We loved her, chased her,
called her our adored one.
Her chaotic tresses
would shake around
the head of the shaggy girl, the one
resembling wild meadow weeds.
Grief from frightened eyes,
grief from gaping lips, from laughter.
At the curls from smoke drafts,
from high masts, from flags.
She had no face, no voice, no age,
just a pulse from the wild flame,
burning tall, chasing
like a feverous thorn.
She gazed on us in our caress,
as if our hearts would stop
from surprise. The stronger
the breeze passed over the plain,
the stronger grew the need
to drown or smother that bonfire.
If she chanced to stand up
suddenly from the seeded ground,
she turned into a Seraphim,
echoing us in its flames.
More chaos, mayhem, a single cry
to glimpse her asleep, someplace.
The hot fire, the canny quiet,
it wasn’t brushwood or a spark.
What could that fiery river be?
What did she do, down in the flames?
Blazing, mocking, under
her cane brake or reed and marsh,
she persisted without seeing us
as the ones who jeered at her, sniffed,
knowing everything about us,
but offering us nothing in return …
How a bush from grasses, unseen,
made her deaf, blind,
no one knows. We can’t recall,
we didn’t see a brow, a back, shoulders,
nor any brand-new clothes,
only despairing hands
that beat her hair back,
parting her locks like willow branches.
One lone thing in life,
perhaps the same lone thing in death.
Dandies hunted after her,
they wanted to get her, to have her,
one moment separating her defiant
hand, separating her complex fire.
She had them without having them,
the tranquil hellcat.
She was never observed eating,
never seen binding up her disheveled
fleece. Her rages, her pleasures,
both continued from behind those bars.
She was a cocoon, thick, closed.
She was an acorn nut hardly opened.
A few wheat fields burned
where she took her cat nap;
she scorched the tall pines
just by passing near by.
Flesh, bones, fluids still fresh, all
burned away, day following day, falling
at her feet, but not into her shaggy mane.
They tried to put her out,
extinguish her with the earth.
We hid her red comet
in a glass casket.
Those beautiful burn-scars
that marked us like zebras.
The fever that came with the summer,
the coating in our eyes, the red
we got from our tongue.
They are the flashbacks
from funerals, from celebrations,
from the girl alone, fiery,
who kept burning underground.
When we at last lay down
on her right side or her left,
it might be to burn forevermore,
to glow like a yawning grate,
to keep us from this chill,
even though all the earth will perish.

ajeno deseo

ajeno deseo, alien, lindo insecto, Spanish, translation

Ahora solas, sentí tus labios

mientras tú me besó.

Me comí mi propio miedo.

Llamaron a usted un monstruo,

sino eras tan hermosa que yo

no tenía palabras. Usted

pone tus garras en mi boca,

en busca de el éxtasis

de una orgasmo; en un siseo

que podría haber sido la muerte

de un animal pequeño o un sueño

cumplido. Yo vivía con tu el olor

de la muerte y sexo.

Yo vivía con mi sangre

y con tu ajeno deseo.

Todos los amantes

famosos eran monstruo.

 

trippy little bug

(Now alone, I felt your lips while you kissed me. I ate my own fear. They called you a monster, but you were so beautiful that I had no words. You put your claws in my mouth, looking for the ecstasy of orgasm in a hiss that could have been the death of a small animal or a dream fulfilled. I lived with a smell of death and sex. I lived with my blood and your alien desire. All famous lovers were monsters.)

art, rojo bambu, sonnet, Spanish, translation

August 29, 2012 [2]

Primero compré un lanzamiento del bambú rojo, menos

que un pie, y tomó abajo anguila-como la lámina

con la manija de la quijada del boquete. Debo confesar

tomó un día para tallarlos. Estoy asustado

tres eran todos lo que podría dominar. Entonces encontré

el viejo pote de arcilla formado fuera de nightshade

y sangre. La llené y después encendí un redondo

encienda abajo de punto bajo. Tallé una pregunta y puse

en un desecho de madera, lo fijó para arder: ¿quién

hay fuera de? Los fuegos crackled hasta que

A.M.E.X.Q. fue deletreado. ¿Qué blithesome

el alcohol es usted, amor? Después: Le espero.

Mi corte de bambú pasado era rezo: ¿cuándo

usted vendrá? ¿Alcohol de la prisa – cuándo usted vendrá?

][][

(First I bought a shoot of red bamboo, less than a foot, and took down the eel-like blade with the gap jaw handle. I must confess it took a day to carve them. I’m afraid three was all I could master. Then I found the old clay pot fashioned out of nightshade and blood. I filled it and then lit a round fire down low. I carved a question and laid it on a wood scrap, set it to blaze: who is out there? The fires crackled until A.M.E.X.Q. was spelled. What blithesome spirit are you, love? Next: I wait for you. My last bamboo cutting was prayer: when will you come? Hurry spirit — when will you come?)

August 29, 2012 [3]

“Y parece que todo el mundo en toda

la ronda mundo está abajo en mí,”

— Janis Joplin

Esta noche soñé contigo, Janis.

Tu lengua jugaba con la mía, mezclándose

tu dicha con la mía. Estabas sudada,

excitada, mojada y furiosa.

Tenias tus manos en mi cabeza,

con mi lengua dentro tus vientre,

y tu espalda contra la pared.

Esta noche, hermanita, estoy “debajo

de ti.” No sé si los muertos

pueden tener orgasmos.

Pero, Janis, esta noche mi boca

está llena de tu dicha.

][][

(This night I dreamed about you, Janis. Your tongue played with mine, mixing your bliss with mine. Were sweaty, excited, wet and angry. You had your hands on my head, with my tongue in your belly, and your back against the wall. Tonight, sister, I am “down on you.” I do not know if the dead can have orgasms. But Janis, tonight my mouth is filled with your bliss.)

Arcadia, pantanosa-miel, rainy afternoon, Spanish, swamp-honey, translation, wall of flesh

I.
Si sigue lloviendo,
descendían al pantano del deseo.
Ir a jugar en los charcos y caricias
lleno de totoral y carrizal.

Arcadia podría ahogarse
en un estallido de humedad.
Lluvias de placer.
Gemidos de pasión.

If it keeps on raining,
go down to the swamp called desire.
Go play in the puddles and caresses
full of cattails and reeds.

Arcadia could drown
in a burst of moisture.
Showers of pleasure.
Moans of passion.

II.
Si sigue lloviendo
contra la pared de carne;
contra el dique; contra
la sangre para siempre
deja que tu boca beber
la pantanosa-miel,
de ese pequeño marisma
donde se tus labios
y tu lengua se cantar.

If it keeps on raining
against this wall of flesh,
against this dam, against
this blood forever
let your mouth drink
the swamp-honey,
that little marsh
where your lips
and your tongue sings.

my daughter, pornographer, sonnet, Spanish, translation

Fue cuando ella comenzó a traer su trabajo

al hogar que comencé a preocuparme. Caminando

por la cocina para encontrar a alguna muchacha

masturbando a un tipo, era mi hija, capturando

toda en la película, grita las instrucciones. Encontrar

el fregadero lleno juguetes sexuales apenas lavados. Un nuevo

tubo de lubricante anal en su monedero. “mirando a

otros coger,” ella me dijo, “es lo que mejor se hacer.”

No puedo avitar pensar que hay voyeurs

en todos nosotros. Incluso la palabra impresa

era una vez de otros. “Estarias sorprendido

qué todos lo que podemos hacer delante de otros,

dado la ocasión,” dijo ella. “es absurdo

decir que no amamos lo que desdeñan otros.”

mi-hija-el-pornographer-2

(It was when she started bringing her work home that I began worrying. Walking into the kitchen to find some girl jerk a boy off as my daughter, capturing it all on film, shouts instructions. Finding the sink full of sex toys just washed. A new tube of anal lube in her purse. “Watching others fuck,” she told me, “is what I do best.” I can’t help but think there are voyeurs in all of us. Even the printed word was once another’s. “You would be surprised what we all will do in front of others, given the chance,” she said. “It is absurd to say we don’t love what others despise.”)
