Dylan Thomas
1
From 18 glasses of whiskey,
He did not die.
They knew nothing
But they said that.
It looks that they wanted
a pillar of darkness,
Holding up the sky.
2
In his days, poets
Asked: are you romantic?
Did he answer: Among the heavenly hosts?
The answer is Yes. Read Fern Hill
3
Romantic is not the only
Angel, the brain
Rise or fall.
Moreover, sincere impulses.
Spectral presence
Holds things together.
The secret force does not need
A name, it at the heart of it all.
We need a lamp of faith
4
You must blend realities,
Do not accept limits,
And put fire to language
While those others sleep
Awake the hours,
Although you are consumed.
5
In the tower of words,
You must write with heart in another way.
The savage has no words.
Correcting ordinary words
You could finish
upside down, because
it is difficult to pedal them.
6
In his train of rebellion
He stopped at the station of the
Faith having passed by
the season of doubt purgatory
And the Season of Hell of Despair.
His death will have no dominion.
7
Reading him, I descended to his hell
And see the bonfire.
My demons look like his,
they are skeletons without a soul,
But with affection we treat them.
