ahí te va en tus 31, dijo Juan!



roll the dice

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

- Charles Bukowski

Cara de Ceiba


y si entonces me siembro en la tierra
aprovechando una caída libre
me cubro y me escondo

y si entonces crezco
me desenrosco verde y juncal
me florezco

y si entonces viene el viento
largo y suave
viento de las tardes arreboladas de Agosto
cielo despejado
despojado

y si entonces viajo,
revolcada en tu pelo
inundada en tu boca
boca cara de yo no compro colgate

y me quedo batallando con tu mente conciente
con tus palabras apiladas de memoria
con tu brazo empuñando fuertemente
con nuestras contradicciones

tu entonces emprendes viaje con mis ojos
con mis perlas
con mi boca cara de pulpo
y tus sonrisas de biche.
