Silently she’s combing,
Combing her long hair
Silently and graciously,
With many a pretty air.
The sun is in the willow leaves
And on the dappled grass,
And still she’s combing her long hair
Before the looking-glass.

Mira, no pido mucho,
solamente tu mano, tenerla
como un sapito que duerme así contento. Happy new year, por Julio Cortázar poeticous.com/julio-cortazar… via @Poeticous
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the fight.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
Song of Myself (1 - 36), by Walt Whitman poeticous.com/whitman/song-o… via @Poeticous
We’ve made a great mess of love
Since we made an ideal of it.
The moment I swear to love a woman, a certain woman, all my life
That moment I begin to hate her.
The moment I even say to a woman: I love you!—
My love dies down considerably.

Since we agreed to let the road between us
Fall to disuse,
And bricked our gates up, planted trees to screen us,
And turned all time’s eroding agents loose,
Silence, and space, and strangers —our neglect
Has not had much effect.

Es otra
acaso es otra
la que va recobrando
su pelo su vestido su manera
la que ahora retoma
su vertical
su peso
y después de sesiones lujuriosas y tiernas
se sale por la puerta entera y pura
y no busca saber
no necesita
y no quiere saber
nada de nadie.

Una cosa le pido, sea todo lo cruel
pero no me diga: cuídese,
el gesto es feo, en una despiadada como usted
ese gesto es feo, se nota el cuchillo
en lo taimado del teléfono.
Además
de qué voy a cuidarme sino de usted,
arrivederla, corto.

Life and marriage I have known,
Things once deemed so bright;
Now, how utterly is flown
Every ray of light!
’Mid the unknown sea of life
I no blest isle have found;
At last, through all its wild wave’s strife,
My bark is homeward bound.

Amor mío, de pronto
tu cadera
es la curva colmada
de la copa,
tu pecho es el racimo,
la luz del alcohol tu cabellera,
las uvas tus pezones,
tu ombligo sello puro
estampado en tu vientre de vasija,
y tu amor la cascada
de vino inextinguible.
