“Cuerpo”

¡Temo llegar! Es mi hogar.
He estado aquí toda mi vida.
No lo conozco. No sé la dirección.
¿A quién pido perdón?
No sé quien soy...

De corazones rotos, lágrimas escondidas,
Pasos marcados en el sol,
Un recorrido por el mar de lágrimas
Buscando el amor perdido en el baúl del alma.

 

Ojos temerosos al mundo eterno.
Mi sabiduría no alcanza a entender los profundidades de Mí.
Por mis venas corre aíre,
Respiro soledad.
Mis ojos son un mar infinito,
Sudo sangre al caminar.
Saboreo en mi paladar la hiel de la existencia.
Los impulsos de mi mano apuntan hacia el olvido.

Mi cuerpo—mi cuerpo, tu cuerpo, su cuerpo, nuestro cuerpos—una orgía de pensamientos, placeres adictivos, buscando el punto ‘G’ y encontrando sólo orgasmos de infelicidad;

Cuerpos débiles a la caricia del futuro, lleno de incertidumbre, lleno de promesas que no se saben si existen.

Somos uno, somos todos, somos nada más que polvo;
Somos desaparecidos enre la multitúd—hogares que nos esconden las verdades.

Somos cuerpo negro, de mente blanca, ojos rojos, sangre verde—inválidos frente ad destino. Con sueños que temen contarnos la verdad en la oscuridad.

Somos entrega total, virginidad perdida al tiempo que llega y pasa sin misericordia, trayendo fracasos, risas de alegría, gritos de desesperación, locura al igual que pasión, vida sin vida.

 

El problema no es la vida, sino morir sin conocerla.

¿Quién soy?
¿Quién eres?
¿Si no eres tú, quién serás?


 

 

“Body”

I’m scared to get here! It’s my home.
I’ve been here all my life.
I know not about it. I know not of its whereabouts.
Who shall forgive me?
I don’t know who I am…

Broken hearts, hidden tears,
Steps fossilized on the sun,
A run through the weeping sea
Searching for love—lost in the coffin buried in the soul.

Eyes that fear eternal life,
My simple knowledge can’t seem to understand my own deepness.
Air runs through my veins,
I inhale solitude.
My eyes are an infinite sea.
I sweat blood when I walk.
My palate carries the taste of bitter existence.
My finger points towards oblivion.

My body—my soul, your soul, his soul, our souls—an orgy of thoughts, addictive pleasures, seeking the ‘G’ spot, but finishing with only wretched orgasms;

Bodies that weaken to future’s caressing touch, full of uncertainty, full of nonexistent promises.

 

We are one, we are all, we are nothing more than dust; We are lost in the crowd—a home that hides us from the truth.

We live in pitch black bodies, with white minds, red eyes, green blood—handicapped before destiny, with dreams that fear to speak the truth in the darkness.

 

We gave ourselves, our body and soul; we’ve lost our virginity to time, who comes and goes without mercy, bringing along our failure, yet, joyous laughter, screams of desperation, madness, yet, passion; life without life.

The problem is not life, but living it without meeting it.

Who am I?
Who are you?
If you are not yourself, then who are you?
