Ésta es una semana milagrosa

Sin mayor novedad que la aparición sorpresiva [por simultánea] de mis dos más recientes colecciones de poemas: Hay un jardín, en el Fondo Editorial Tierra Adentro; y Golden Boy, en la serie El Celta Miserable de la Editorial Letras de Pasto Verde.

Desde luego aguardar las presentaciones y reafirmar aquella contundente apropiación, de un verso de W. H. Auden, en manos de la poeta británica Sarah Maguire: "Poetry makes parties happen".

I will possess your heart (sure thing!)

Death Cab For Cutie
I will possess your heart



How I wish you could see the potential,
the potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can't read.
Just yet.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass,
and I long for this mirrored perspective
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

You reject my... advances... and desperate pleas...
I won't let you... let me down... so easily.
So easily.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
