LA GORDITA SERRANOEstos son los cuentos
Que se abarca por los vientos
De La Gordita Serrano
En una noche de Verano!
Que día de aventura
Te lo contaré sin añadidura!
El cuento de su boda será la que perdura
Como Tampiqueña de estatura!
Ay, como lo siento
Por La Gordita La De Serrano
Pero NO por su esposo El Guanaco Poblano
El Cuento es un bocadillo
Que pica...

My Translator“Mom, they called my name I won.”
“Mijo, estoy tan orgullosa de ti, qué bendición.”
Her voice lifts when I tell her.
Like music in a language they don’t teach in school.
At the store, at school, at the doctor’s front desk
I become her mouth. I become her ears.
They...

BajonRobarme el destino
Los weyes son kimo
Porque me la Pelan
Nada es sencillo
todo Viene junto
Vengo de abajo ,
Estoy en la orilla,
Dale dela misma
Me bajo en el monte,
y salgo elegante,
con cinto serpente
mirada cortante.
No conozco suerte,
ni ruego favores,
Ya nadien apolla
Crecí entre los tiros,
engaños y gente,
hablan de guerra,
yo soy de frente

BellaBella,
me enamoré con ella,
reflejo de estrella
brillando en su mirada tan bella.
Como las nubes,
el día no se me lleva
cuando estoy con ella,
mi mente se queda.
Si llueve, yo soy su paraguas,
la cuido del mundo,
del drama y las malas.
Ese es el diseño,
es fuego conmigo en la cama.
Dice que me ama,
dice que me ame,
y cuando lo dice,
el alma...

El AvionPonle atención a la movida
El billete rinde todo el día
Sangre, sudor, lágrima
La venganza siempre vale más
Bendiciones para mis amigos
La familia siempre está conmigo
R15 enfocado cuando voy fumando
Presidente
Suficiente, unos van y vienen

Consecration, the Sun Bleeds over SevilleThe beast Alhambra
roared a violent psalm
Vile conversos
horrid moriscos,
the heretic herds
A spear thrust into
our sun’s martyred ribs
Held in hateful grips
the yellow warblers
dripped in crimson sheen
Flying like Michael
the vengeful vassal
of Aragon’s decree
“O Torquemada
Hark the righteous call
King of Suprema
Execute them all!”
Cold unfeeling wretch,
the flesh guillotine
Teeth clicking sparks
lit endless pyres
Three made Seville
weep at the sight of...

Dibujando EstrellasDibujo estrellas
En mi piel como en el papel.
Para el alma vieja y dulce,
Eso no fue más allá del verano de quinto grado.
Para el falso hijo de gran espíritu,
Eso me destruyó para su propio disfrute,
Cuando ellos eran realmente los que estaban siendo
Destruido detrás de las puertas.
No dibujo un círculo ni un cuadrado
Dibujo estrellas.

Pablo Neruda: English translation of 'Machu Picchu'The Heights of Machu Picchu, Canto VIII
by Pablo Neruda
translation by Michael R. Burch
Ascend with me, my American love!
Let’s kiss these mysterious stones together!
The Urubamba’s torrential silver
lures pollen to fly from its golden chalice
while above this canyon’s unbroken silence
everything soars: the climbing grapevines,
the shopworn plants, each inflexible garland.
Come, elfin life, test your wings above the earth,
test...

Three Poems From al-AndalusIn the tidy marina,
the tide is going out.
My last image of her
tugs at its mooring.
I pause on a slope
of the Alpujarras.
The wide sky can't
encompass my loss.
A hooded crow calls
two hours before fajr.
The engraver has come,
desperate for epitaphs.

The Bull and the MatadorThe Bull and the Matador
Stalwartly, the bull gaits around
the confines of the arena ring;
snorting and displaying
piercing horns and muscle-bulk build.
For this he was bred and raised;
to be a champion of beasts,
and no matter where placed,
will claim as his domain and ferociously
defend until death, if necessary.
Then into the ring swaggeringly treads the matador
(flamboyantly dressed, touting a...

Spanish Ancestral Building
Midnight of October thirty first
I jumped out of bed to quench my thirst
As I groped my way down the huge kitchen
An eerie coldness crept on my skin and then...
When I fumbled the light’s switch on the wall
I was frozen to hear deep whispering calls
Echoing laughter followed my repeated name
I couldn’t move back, I felt completely...
