¿Es un imperio
esa luz que se apaga
o una luciérnaga?

J.L. Borges

naturaleza
muerta, mas aún viva

en el recuerdo

el invierno se
acerca por el norte
ojos llorosos

Si te busco y te sueño y te persigo,
y deseo tu cuerpo de tal suerte
que tan sólo aborrezco ya la muerte
porque no me podré acostar contigo;
si tantos sueños lúbricos abrigo;
si ardiente, y sin pudor, y en celo, y fuerte
te quiero ver, dejándome morderte
el pecho, el muslo, el sensitivo ombligo;
si quiero que conmigo, enloquecida
goces tanto que estés avergonzada,
no es sólo por codicia de tus prendas:
es para que conmigo, en esta vida,
compartas la impureza, y que manchada,
pero conmovedora, al fin me entiendas.

I cut the middle fingernail of the middle
finger
right hand
real short
and I began rubbing along her cunt
as she sat upright in bed
spreading lotion over her arms
face
and breasts
after bathing.
then she lit a cigarette:
"don’t let this put you off,"
an smoked and continued to rub
the lotion on.
I continued to rub the cunt.
"You want an apple?" I asked.
"sure, she said, "you got one?"
but I got to her-
she began to twist
then she rolled on her side,
she was getting wet and open
like a flower in the rain.
then she rolled on her stomach
and her most beautiful ass
looked up at me
and I reached under and got the
cunt again.
she reached around and got my
cock, she rolled and twisted,
I mounted
my face falling into the mass
of red hair that overflowed
from her head
and my flattened cock entered
into the miracle.
later we joked about the lotion
and the cigarette and the apple.
then I went out and got some chicken
and shrimp and french fries and buns
and mashed potatoes and gravy and
cole slaw,and we ate.she told me
how good she felt and I told her
how good I felt and we
ate the chicken and the shrimp and the
french fries and the buns and the
mashed potatoes and the gravy and
the cole slaw too.
