POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write, and think, and paint, and draw, and read, and...
silent winged beings
and the angels,
which there were in heaven
when I looked at the puddles of water
that the rain had left,
sang divine things.
and the angels sing,
every now and then
and keep quiet
most of times,
thinking about infinity.
and the angels sing
and sing
and shut up
and sing
infinitely.

The Silence of the Hands
the words of the moment
are the ones I didn't say
that I didn't think before saying
that I didn't invent...
from thinking so much
the words of the moment
are a velvet tongue
an umbrella
an overcoat
the words of the moment
went unnoticed
like the eyes of the suffering
the smile of the one who pretends
the dust at the feet of those who flee
the words of the moment
repeat in the teeth
echo in the cavities of the teeth
hurt like cavities
are like spikes that never pierce
are like bridges that don't last...
are the ones I didn't say
that I didn't think before saying
that I didn't invent...

are like bridges that don't last...

Garden of Delights
I gave you things
I gave you what I didn't have at hand
I gave you the sea of my body
I gave you the sugar I had
under the fingernails
there were algae in your hair
but there were no leaves on the ground
I gave you an umbrella
to walk your faces in the garden
I gave you everything that was not in me
there were roses on your elbows
but I didn't see petals on the floor
I gave you my hand
but you threw me to the ground
you covered your ears and pretended
not to have my eyes on your hand
...

Playmates
he cried
and I ran after him
he ran
and i hoped he would stop
to be crying
so were our games
- run and cry -
physically liquid
to cry for more
we didn't think
about the possibility
to stop and sink
in some kisses
or cuddles
or affections
and I ran after her
and he cried.

The pig and the toy.
They pass each other slowly and
leave their traces, of the bodies,
up in the air...
They leave each other behind
picking up sound debris.
On all fours, in recumbency, the
pick up footprints, dry rains,
up in the air...
The dry beat of the hips.
The brush of intimate hairs.
The breath to fuse pheromones.
The bodies are confused,
deformed,
up in the air...

Toccata for Tambourine and Bagpipes
Step by step,
Almost staccato...
Bass drum.
Beat beat beat
on that tambourine.
Take the cover off the harmonica
and blow on the bellows.
Snort.
Twerk it.
Shake.
Huff and puff and moan
on the floor that shakes.
Take the baton.
Grab the drumstick.
Tap the clappers.
Listen to these rappers.

Stormed
in the time of the storms
it rained
and we ran and ran
sprawled in the mud
in the time of the storms
any drop was a reason
for big laughs
all the mud
in the hem of the pants
was a synonym of life

end trip
when the world ended
no one noticed
everyone was too much
busy with their little things
too absorbed
on their nails
when the world ended
days have passed
until the news broke
On TV
but in the windows of the
travel agencies
everyone could read
"come with us to the end of the world"

nebula
and then there I go chasing the wind
birds on the shoulders of statues
orange leaves on the ground stones
and so there I go after the migrating birds
I throw crumbs of letters I didn't write
my limbs being torn apart by the scavengers
and so there I go on the wings of birds in the wind
in spirals of feathers that are not your eyes
my claws digging into my statuesque neck.

Eyebrows
if you steal my sleep
or kidnap the dream
you break your brow
you wave promises you won't keep
you break my dream
you steal my sleep
plucking all the hairs from my eyebrows.
