Dear Readers,
I am developing a new project that will further promote the writings of our literary community. It’s an extremely demanding and complex project, and I am very excited about. New updates in a month or so.
Furthermore I am preparing a new book; an English-Spanish bilingual edition of my poems. The poem below, The Miracle of You, is included. I hope you enjoy the English, as well as, the Spanish version.
The Miracle of You
the moon’s right-hand
pours soul into my flesh
pigeons’ wings bring scents of lilac blooms
the air gets drunk with poetry
statuary women of the water
flaunt their hair
within the loneliness of you
my heart
rotates five equinoxes on a wooden spindle
your eyes pour flesh into my soul
my body germinates the sounds of growing leaves
I wash my hands into the waters of Guadalquivir
in the scented night of those who never sleep
I say
I love you
and in one single breath
our wedding is transformed
in an enraptured death
Fuiste tú el milagro
La mano derecha de la luna
vierte alma dentro de mi carne,
los aleteos de las palomas traen aromas de lilas en flor,
el aire se emborracha de poesía,
imaginarias mujeres del agua, sirenas,
alardean de cabello.
Dentro de tu soledad
mi corazón
gira cinco equinoccios cual uso de madera,
tus ojos vierten carne dentro de mi alma,
mi cuerpo germina los sonidos de hojas que brotan,
lavo mis manos en las aguas del Guadalquivir
en la perfumada noche de aquellos que nunca duermen.
Digo
“te quiero”
y en solo un respiro
nuestra boda se convierte
en un morir de éxtasis
¿Fue la luna?
¿Fue el aroma de mayo?
Quizás fuiste tú el milagro.
Good luck to everyone who starts school or whose children are starting school. The summer is about to end in the Northern hemisphere.

How beautiful is this poem that dances in and out of our soul in rhythmic delight dear Gabriela! Always stunning and captivating inspiring me to reach to the dwelling possibility of what’s opening inside of myself. That last line. Wow. Ohhhh my another new project. Girl, you were supposed to be on a “cow vaca”. Now I understand the confusion as you have so kindly and astutely made a spanish version as well. I’m all ears on your new project and your new book is already off the hook with your ingenious words!
