Something Prickles Your Feet

Something prickles my feet

I feel the acupuncture underneath

I move and feel lines of ribbed harmony

Tracing down my foot.

My neck becomes a mountain range

Hairs stand like trees in a forest.

From the nerves in my dermis

My brain receives signals

My hoofs feel the threading

Of ants searching up and down

The ribbed terrain

Of my twinkle toes

One piercing in front of the other

They trod to and fro

Ambulatory in a jungle of skin

There are 100 receptors in each fingertip

And all I feel is the slip, nip, sting and prick

The puncture each pace leaves behind.

I push a daisy

Close my eyes

The grass feels nice.

Pablo Haedo

You, Pablo Haedo

Trying to save your father

From the slithering snake

But oil burst from its flesh

The repulsive smell impregnated

In the core of your fleshy skin

Black repugnant night and day

It would not go away

Repugnance, nausea

You were trying to save your father

What a price to pay for life:

Losing smell by smelling

Now food has no taste.

Luz doesn’t wear perfumes.

No lingering baby smells.

When the snake died,

You were the true deceased,

The unfortunate one

You, Marina Haedo

Trying to save your father

From his destiny

Alzheimer’s is quick,

But full of agony.

Te amaré de tallo a raíz

Por ahí surgen las cosas frías

Que de hecho son puros mitos

Tu corazón es frágil, delicado

Capaz de sueños incalculables

Tu nunca me haz fallado

Por ende estaré por donde andes

Antes de gritar injusticias

Pensaré en que me haces feliz

Y con todas mis caricias

Te amaré de tallo a raíz.

Yo en ti siempre me encuentro

En tu apasionado secuestro

Mientras dormías

Mientras dormías, mi amor, me di cuenta de unas peculiaridades de tu ser. Primero, roncas. Segundo, duermes con la boca abierta, al punto que, al sólo ver tus dientes delanteros, tienes el parecer de Buggs Bunny. Tercero, eres muy peludo. Ésto me permite sentirme mas calientita mientras caía encima de tu piel. Cuarto, tus pies son calientes. Quinto, cuando te levantas tienes un parecer a Elvis ya que tu pelo se para de manera absurda. Sexto y último, me di cuenta que te amo con todo mi ser a la extrema potencia. Soy tuya para siempre.

Soy nudista de tu amor

Soy nudista de tu amor. 
Me libero de ti cuando quiera. 
Sólo cuando deseo, 
me revisto del dolor. 
Mis sinceras disculpas: 
Al lavar, tus escombros quedan afuera. 
Al secarse, se mojan con las lluvias. 
Esto no me preocupa; 
Yo de tí no me visto. 
De mi indiferencia tienes culpa 
Al colgar, tu amor se lo lleva la brisa. 
Al cansar, de negro me revisto. 
Tu ropa vieja es blanca, 
La ausencia del color. 
Sin embargo el negro contiene todo color. 
Sin tí negra es mi alma 
Y persiste llena de calma. 
Sin tí lo tengo todo. 
Soy nudista de tu amor.
