Sin más preámbulos me despido, recuerden, 10 am en el zócalo o en éste blog.
¡Gracias por su apoyo!
Si la poesía es música, el verso libre es Jazz. Un buen jazzista ha de dominar la teoría musical que respalda años de tradición; lo mismo sucede al poeta. "Para romper con el canon primero hay que dominarlo"
Búho Joven
Es impaciente, no atrapa
más que ratones pequeños
que corretea entre los leños
hasta que alguno no escapa
de la impaciente gazapa
de este aprendiz intranquilo.
Su éxito pende de un hilo,
ya que le falta cautela
para cazar. Cuando en vela
es esencial el sigilo.
Maiden Name
Marrying left your maiden name disused.
Its five light sounds no longer mean your face,
Your voice, and all your variants of grace;
For since you were so thankfully confused
By law with someone else, you cannot be
Semantically the same as that young beauty:
It was of her that these two words were used.
Now it's a phrase applicable to no one,
Lying just where you left it, scattered through
Old lists, old programmes, a school prize or two
Packets of letters tied with tartan ribbon -
Then is it scentless, weightless, strengthless, wholly
Untruthful? Try whispering it slowly.
No, it means you. Or, since you're past and gone,
It means what we feel now about you then:
How beautiful you were, and near, and young,
So vivid, you might still be there among
Those first few days, unfingermarked again.
So your old name shelters our faithfulness,
Instead of losing shape and meaning less
With your depreciating luggage laden.
