Five Mixed Poems with Notes now is Spanish and English

1.

Night in Jamaica
[Peruvianism: 1810

It was a rainy night they say
When don Simon Bolivar
Slept in the arms of beautiful
Luisa Crober
(of Jamaica); thus an
Assassin missed his mark
When he stabbed Major Amestoy
Sleeping in the dark
In Bolivars hammock!...

Sacred Something

Love for love
curse for curse
what you plant
(in the furrow):
is what you
get tomorrow.

Epitaph in El Dorado

Ride high, ride high
The shade replied
Over the mountains
To the valley

There upon a cliff
Youll see
A placed called
El Dorado

His madden brain
Was sick with pain
Beholding to the shadow
But he found the gold
And then was told
Youll never leave
The valley

And so it was
That he grew old
Sitting there in the Valley
Counting gold
Eating toads

And
Im sick of th is poem
But it needs an end
So my friend, I must say
This epitaph was is his story.

Epitaph of a Shoeshine Boy
[A Macabre poem

I cannot sleep, I cannot sleep
In moon struck ebony,
My ghostly hands upon my knees
The dead are dead you see.

The earth is warm under my feet;
As seasons come and go.
I am, am neither wise nor bold,
But cold, am I you see.

I cannot sleep, I cannot sleep
I look upon a bed
I must still love the living best:
Who hate the ghostly dead?

Whereas, I walk alone again
Wandering, aimlessly
I was a shoeshine boy, you know
But who remembers me (?)

Note: When I was a boy of 11 to 13, I used to go from bar to bar in St. Paul, Minnesota and shoeshine (l958-61). I made money that way, until I was 14-years old, at which time I worked for what is now the Fitzgerald Theater; where Garrison Keillor (whom I met twice) has his show, A Prairie Ho me companion.

Lyric Rain
[A Minnesota Poem

Ah! Last night it was a night
A night of lyric rain
The trees were swaying, swaying
Every which-way

I so love the wild rain
Un-refrained
Its cool breezes, sharp fangs,
Fangs, and empty-eyed;
Replenishing earths strains
Washing away all the grime
And secretly, nurturing
This rhyme

Note: It rained out last night (a storm), in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA; 3:30 AM. My mother used to be frightened by such storms, but I cherished them it seems; odd are we not, so different in what we value. #721 6/8/05

[Peruanismo: 1810

Esta fu una noche lluviosa ellos dicen
Cuando don Simn Bolvar

Durmiendo en la oscu ridad
En la hamaca de Bolvar!...

Algo Sagrado

Amor por amor
maldicin por maldicin
lo que usted planta
( en el surco):
es lo que usted
conseguira maana.

Epitafio en El Dorado

Alto al Paseo, alto al paseo
La sombra contestaba
Sobre las montaas
hacia el valle

All sobre una roca
Usted ver
Un lugar llamado
El Dorado

Su cerebro enfurecido
Estaba enfermo con dolor
Contemplando a la sombra
Pero l encontr el oro
Y luego dijeron
Usted nunca se marchar
del valle

Y entonces fu
Que l envejeciera
sentado all en el Valle
Contando oro
Comiendo sapos y

Estoy harto de este poema
Pero esto necesita un final
As mi amigo, debo decir
Este epitafio era, es su historia.

Epitafio de un Limpiabotas
[ Un poema Macabro

No puedo dormir , no puedo dormir
En locura golpe el bano,
Mis manos fantasmales sobre mis rodillas-
Los muertos estn muertos usted ve.

La tierra est caliente bajo mis pies;
Como las estaciones vienen y van.
Soy, soy, ni sabio, ni valiente,
Pero fro, soy yo, usted ve.

No puedo dormir, no puedo dormir
busco una cama
Todava me debe gustar vivir mejor:
Quin odia la muerte fantasmal?

Mientras que, ando solo otra vez
Vagabundo, sin rumbo
Yo era un limpiabotas, usted sabe.
Pero quien me recuerda (?)

Nota: Cuando yo era un muchacho de 11 a 13, sola ir de bar en bar en Saint Paul Minnesota y lustraba botas (l958-61). Gan dinero de esta manera, hasta que yo tuve 14 aos, en el cual trabaj para lo que es ahora el Teatro Fitzergerald ; donde la Guarnicin Keillor (con quien me encontr dos veces) tiene su espectculo, A Praire home companion

Lluvia lrica
(Un Poema de Minnesota

Ah! Anoche esto fue una noche
Una noche de lluvia lrica
Los rboles se balanceaban, balanceaban-
por todo lado
As me gusta la lluvia salvaje
inrefrenado
Sus brisas frescas, colmillos agudos,
Colmillos, y mirada -vaca;
Rellenando tensiones de tierras
lavando toda la mugre-
Y secretamente, nutriendo
Esta rima.

Nota: llovi afuera anoche (una tormenta), en Saint Paul, Minnesota, EE. UU; a las 3h30. Mi madre sola estar asustada por tales tormentas, pero yo los abrigue eso parece; extraos somos nosotros , tan diferentes en lo que valoramos.
