TRIAL AT MÜNCHEN

Standing still, staring ahead.
White tiles, neutral light.
However, I knew all the time.
the translucent glass and the projected shadow;
the obvious movements, transparent soul.
Surreptitious, but hide we cannot.

I confess: I peeked, I wondered.
Old ways and old desires persist.
I really had to know.

- a witch trial, I must say-

Once I knew, I conquered;
Will and needs converged, old ways faded.
And smiling and proud, I left.

You, you, you.
No doubt, you.

RANDOM, EXPECTED ENCOUNTER

Lingering -again.
Like your perfume on my cheeks,
After that ambiguous kiss.
Or the cigarette's smell on my hair
-the sour aftertaste, the bad breath-
left by a long night:
too much drinking and laughter.

A weak balance,
… dubious.

FUEGO PERPETUO

Arde la ciudad sin ti,
Y contigo se incendia la noche.
Nada apaga este voraz fuego:
si estás, te bebo sin fin;
en la ausencia, desazón y lamento.

IN ONE OF THESE BATTLES

In one of these battles -I said-,
in one of these battles
I wont' be able to restrain myself;
I won't, and I will penetrate those barriers,
breaking at will your inner protections,
conquering the final gate, the citadel:
your body and your soul.

The final battle won't be a total defeat, though.
I will fall, myself, on the field.
I will give up my shield, my helmet, my armour.
Even my sword will be surrendered to you.

We will lay down, together, on the battlefield.

INEFICIENTE

¿Me buscas o evitas?
si búsqueda, ineficiente.
Si no, ¿para qué tanto rodeo?

654 321 987

Un número rasgado sobre cualquier papel.
Promesa que ambos,
-demasiada experiencia-
que no cumpliremos, sabemos.

SONRISA

¿Quién lo diría,
oculto tras esa inocente sonrisa?
¿Quién, en semejante lugar? Ruido y oscuridad ...

Inestable equilibrio; antagónicos extremos.
Dulzura y dureza, felicidad y placer.
Movimientos felinos, aun durante el sexo.
Pero la franqueza y el gesto persisten.
Como tu hálito, después de tu partida.
