The angle of the poetry

Baldassarre Peruzzi, Apollo and the Muse (Firenze, Galleria Palatina)

Colin Powell addresses the UN

  

it's powerpoint of course.

all power. no point.

microsoftware

before the macrohardware

all style

no substance

erect an argument on flawed foundations

holes the size

of bombcraters

a colon

pregnant pause before a war

lives reduced

not to dot points

but bullet points

Microworld

 

a visible universe of unseen blocks and bond

 desiccating clay tessellates to hexagons

quartz molecules hold hands. angled calcite perfection

Fibonacci in each pinecone, protea, sunflower

geometry of the seen

constructed from the lego

of the invisible

Ballerina
TRANSLATOR © MARIÁN MUIÑOS

http://mispoetascontemporaneoseningles.blogspot.com/

 

On the pine wood cupboard,
in her reddish satin case

plated in chiselled silver.

Two initials and an arrow of rubies

like a full dress broach.

Inside, there lies the drowsy ballerina:

humidity, resembling

spilled tears.

Relegated by the fight

of a star-crossed union.

In your dreams you still taste

the once welcomed happiness

of moments without return.
Your cord was broken

Your heart was drilled

when years of passion became splinters.
