Altazor (I)

Mi paracaídas se enredó en una estrella apagada que seguía su órbita concienzudamente, como si ignorara la inutilidad de sus esfuerzos.
Y aprovechando este reposo bien ganado, comencé a llenar con profundos pensamientos las casillas de mi tablero:
«Los verdaderos poemas son incendios. La poesía se propaga por todas partes, iluminando sus consumaciones con estremecimientos de placer o de agonía.
»Se debe escribir en una lengua que no sea materna.
»Los cuatro puntos cardinales son tres: el sur y el norte.
»Un poema es una cosa que será.
»Un poema es una cosa que nunca es, pero que debiera ser.
»Un poema es una cosa que nunca ha sido, que nunca podrá ser.
»Huye del sublime externo, si no quieres morir aplastado por el viento.
»Si yo no hiciera al menos una locura por año, me volvería loco.»
Tomo mi paracaídas, y del borde de mi estrella en marcha me lanzo a la atmósfera del último suspiro.

»life doesn’t frighten me« by maya angelou

shadows on the wall
noises down the hall
life doesn’t frighten me at all

bad dogs barking loud
big ghosts in a cloud
life doesn’t frighten me at all

mean old mother goose
lions on the loose
they don’t frighten me at all

dragons breathing flame
on my counterpane
that doesn’t frighten me at all.

i go boo
make them shoo
i make fun
way they run
i won’t cry
so they fly
i just smile
they go wild

life doesn’t frighten me at all.

tough guys fight
all alone at night
life doesn’t frighten me at all.

panthers in the park
strangers in the dark
no, they don’t frighten me at all.

that new classroom where
boys all pull my hair
(kissy little girls
with their hair in curls)
they don’t frighten me at all.

don’t show me frogs and snakes
and listen for my scream,
if i’m afraid at all
it’s only in my dreams.

i’ve got a magic charm
that i keep up my sleeve
i can walk the ocean floor
and never have to breathe.

life doesn’t frighten me at all
not at all
not at all.

life doesn’t frighten me at all.

La oveja lleva muerta todo el verano ahí dentro
por eso huele así:
Y el olor a podrido se infiltró en 6000 kilos de paja.

Y junto a la cuadra-morgue
hay una cabaña
y dentro:

libros de polvo
ropa de okupa
sartenes, cuchillos
piedras pómez
hormigoneras
bombonas de butano
y un…
