Between Cultures

All my favorite poets are dead 
Pero sus poemas los leo en el atardecer 
And they come alive again. 

Soy sus Lazaros; los revivo, y viven en mi vida, en este presente.
I want to be like them, 
O ser como el pajaro, como las nubes blancas. Pure. Whole. White. 

I asked Federico if we could work together on a masterpiece, but he said 
No se si pueda, me voy a Nueva York. Perhaps on your return we’ll conversate on ars poetica or post modern art. 

Perhaps 
Pero no se si pueda. 
Regreso a mi cuaderno y bajo la Luna escribo. A Veces abro el libro de Federico. 
He helps me create my personal masterpiece, just like he said one day he would.
