Alí Calderón - Sarajevo

The wind is cold it burns
and causes those that wait for the quiet
crossing of the tram to shiver
The elderly lean
their heads against the glass
The boredom of life furrows their faces
They fog up the window with their lost
gaze their distant indiffer ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - Trans-Siberian

Ten thousand kilometers daily
the Trans-Siberian Express
travels
to go from Moscow to Vladivostok, in Siberia.
We inhabit the same city and
every day our paths meet on the street
but our encounter is colder than
a chilly Siberian night
and no o ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - SOMEONE who is not me..

SOMEONE who is not me
and who is entirely identical to myself
dogs my heels and trots behind me.
It’s someone else who speaks my words
and ratifies my actions

my memories are recalled by another
and someone else looks out through my eyes.
Someon ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - CONSTANTINOPLE [Church of the Holy Savior in Chora]

[Church of the Holy Savior in Chora]
Edirnekapi
4th Century a Byzantine church
Outside the walls of Theodosius
are only dust ruined foundations
My elderly grandfather would always go
to the Lady of Our Carmen at eleven
Did he receive communion? Only h ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - Now that night is a carnivorous flower that feeds on shadow...

Now that night is a carnivorous flower that feeds on shadow
and now that every glint in the darkness
calls up ancient wounds that mortified the flesh
now that silence and day are
the ash that dwell in me you will be
flower necklace and scratch
cool tempered ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - Mexican Democracy

another corpse found in a black bag
close by another body the wind a bridge
two blocks away: a spiky head open eyes
amongst other news: on the weekend thirty executed coup
de grâce some of them with torture marks the failed rescue
of a kidnap a finger a ring a roll ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Alí Calderón - And we went up the one hundred and fourteen long steps of that temple The sharpness of their volcanic stone burnt our hands

And we went up the one hundred and fourteen long steps of that temple
The sharpness of their volcanic stone burnt our hands

There I saw the neighbouring towns
the market of aromatic pine-sticks and tigers
Tlatelolco
It was from the very high Plaza that we obs ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Christian Bök - Arks and zoos

Arks and zoos now harbour the remnants of our refrains. What poetry can we imagine, when poetry itself has gone extinct? Must we look for it in the soot of our burnt books? Must we decipher it in the trampled pastures of rapeseed near Barbury Castle? Must we discover it by calculating pi to a googol ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Christian Bök - To be the firefly

To be the firefly, descending through the black spires of tamaracks in the forest fire at night. To be the azure spark that skates across the plate of steel, being split by a xenon laser. To be the fleck of radium, painted on the ceiling of the planetarium. To be the Klieg light in the filigree of cities ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »

Christian Bök - Who Am I

Who am I? – if not some neglected astronaut, being immolated by a fierce aurora, while striding in my spacesuit across the Avenue of the Americas. Who am I? – if not some phan- tom, fighter pilot, dreaming that, while weightless during free fall through a vacuum, my glass visor shatters at the sight o ... კითხვის გაგრძელება »
