Natural Gen #8:

Foliage

                                            A green lanceolate sight
                                            enlightens this afternoon.
                                            A soft current
                                            finds its way
                                            through the countless
                                            leaves.

                                            I trance in that tremor
                                            on the high tops
                                            of the trees,
                                            but it’s just the wind
                                            brought from some monsoon
                                            afar,
                                            as far as we beholders
                                            are
                                            to produce pendulums
                                            out of bird nests
                                            and beehives.

                                            (There’s no blowing whisper,
                                            no caress on the cheek,
                                            no fingers through your hair,
                                            no kiss,
                                            no anthropomorfized Zephyrus
                                            in your April.)

                                            (Here)
                                            there’s just the breeze.


A Personal Comment:

As I have said seven poems ago, Natural Gen is a series of minimalistic poems. The eighth one, "Foliage" is about the subjectivity of a poetical mind.

Thanks for reading.

See you tomorrow with another poem.

Sabiduría natural #8:

Follaje

                                            Verdes lanceolados,
                                            vista de la tarde.
                                            Una suave corriente
                                            se abre camino
                                            entre las incontables
                                            hojas.

                                            Vivo este temblor
                                            en los follajes altos,
                                            pero es solo el viento
                                            traído por un monzón
                                            lejano,
                                            lejano como nosotros,
                                            los curiosos,
                                            que recreamos péndulos
                                            a partir de los nidos de los pájaros
                                            y de las abejas.

                                            (No hay suspiro que sople,
                                            ni caricia en la mejilla,
                                            ni dedos entre los cabellos,
                                            ni beso,
                                            ni un Céfiro antropomórfico
                                            en este abril.)

                                            (Aquí)
                                            solo está la brisa.


Breve comentario personal:

Como he dicho hace siete poemas ya, Sabiduría natural es una serie de poemas minimalistas. Hoy he escrito el octavo, "Follaje", el cual trata sobre la subjetividad de la apreciación poética.

Gracias por leer.
