The judge- that one who stands apart from usto deliver his verdicts is our sentence.He lives on our blood,at the expense of our bowels,eating the fruit we lift to our mouths;
its he who tastes it, chews it, swallows it.Hes nourished even if he pardons us.
We walk slowlyand forging our way or thinking about each stepin the glue of his saliva.His rigid gaze in the night
is lighted with the bones of childhood.

El juezese que separndose de nosotrosdicta sus falloses nuestra condena.Vive de nuestra sangre,a expensas de nuestros intestinos,comindose la fruta que nos llevamos a la boca;
es l quien la saborea, la mastica, la traga.Se nutre aun perdonndonos.
Caminamos lentamentey abrindonos paso o pensando cada pasoen la goma de su saliva.Su mirada rgida en la noche
se enciende con los huesos de la infancia.

Delirium no longer asks for me.I live over salt, getting up and falling, day after day. Ieat, I walk, I lie down on something that supports mewithout asking for explanation, without expectinganything. Im body. Im called tension, weakness,silence, skin, nerve, smell, mistake. I drag myself, Itouch grass, I become ground. The ineffable doesnt
want me.
Years ago I stopped asking. I gave up at a brink.The windows say live.Dirt of our sacred dirt. Thought scrabbles, scrabbles.Im a rope that clings to the last proximity.Vibrant wanting, vibrant crime, vibrant disaffection.
Well versed in dissent, in rupture, in utmost efforts,I persist.

Ya el delirio me solicita.Vivo sobre la sal, levantndome y cayendo, da trasda. Como, ando, me acuesto sobre lo que me sostienesin pedir una aclaracin, sin esperar nada. Soy uncuerpo. Me llamo tensin, debilidad, silencio, piel,nervio, olor, yerro. Me arrastro, toco hierba, me hagosuelo. Lo inefable no me quiere.
Hace aos dej de preguntar. Desist en un lo.Las ventanas dicen vivir.Sucio de nuestro sucio sacro. El pensamiento escarba,escarba. Soy una cuerda que se abraza a la ltimaproximidad.Vibrante querer, vibrante delito, vibrante desamor.
Ducho en disensin, en rotura, en desvivir, persisto.

I trail a razed history.Im extreme weakness. My legs bend. I wont make it,I wont make it.Where does the strength come from when I go on?Im the deaf man, the sharp remark, the blow on thecheek, softness poison, the madmans cloak, thechastiser of fervor, the dirty pipe, the swamp withoutgleams, the model of our ignorance, the one whomakes himself, unmakes himself, makes himself.

Arrastro una historia anonadada.Soy aqueza mxima. Mis piernas se doblan. Nollego, no llego.De dnde sale la fuerza cuando sigo? Soy el sordo,el exabrupto, el golpe en la mejilla, el veneno de lasuavidad, el manto del loco, el que hostiga el fervor,el srdido tubo, la cinaga sin fulgor, la horma denuestra ignorancia, el que se hace, se deshace, sehace.

Once more I say: if he didnt nd support inside me,everything would have been solved, but no, he pullsme to pieces, he cuts me to shreds, he scatters meover the eld. In my own plate, with my anguish, heeats me.Ive asked him to leave me where he found me, at themidnight of every night, but hes tireless. He spreads
pieces of me on his bread. He smears his days withme. And I? I devour him too.But who does the pursuer pursue? If where I amtheres no one, a project that has no projects. Icrumple myself up, I cover myself in time spit and Ind no story. No mark, no milestone, no celebration.So then its pointless for him to take the trouble.
Nevertheless, he becomes a whip. My enemy, orin the end my friend, drags me through corridors,streets, buses, lounges, ramps.

Una vez ms digo: si l no encontrara apoyo dentro dem, todo se habra resuelto, pero no, me despedaza,me corta en trozos, me riega por el campo. En mipropio plato, con mi tsigo, me come.Le he pedido que me deje donde me encontr, en lamedianoche de todas las noches, pero l es incansable.Unta con mis trozos su pan. Embadurna conmigo sus
das. Y yo? Yo tambin lo devoro.Pero a quin persigue el perseguidor? Si dondeyo estoy no hay nadie, un proyecto que no tieneproyectos. Me estrujo, me lleno de saliva de tiempo yno encuentro historia. Ninguna marca, ningn hito,ninguna celebracin. Entonces es intil que se afane.Sin embargo, se convierte en ltigo. Mi enemigo, o mi
amigo a la larga, me arrastra por corredores, calles,autobuses, salones, rampas.

Its good mannersnot to take off ones face.Shouts should be left for the bedroomwhere ones hardly ever standing.On coming outcareful! one must go dressedlike a hero.
I know that.One must write at a remove - not distantly -above all so as to foster modesty,and if at any time you betray yourself,that is,you saywhat comes to your lips,
you will not be given accessto the precinct.

Ars Poetica

Let each word carry what it says.Let it be like the tremor that sustains it.Let it maintain itself like a heartbeat.
I may not put forward ornate lies nor apply doubtfulink nor add shine to what is.This obliges me to hear myself. But were here to tellthe truth.Lets be real.I want terrifying exactitudes.I tremble when I think Im falsifying myself. I have
to bear the weight of my words. They possess me asmuch as I possess them.
You who know me, if I cant see, tell me my lie, pointout my imposture, rub in my fraud. Ill be grateful toyou, seriously. I want madly to correspond to myself.
Be my eye, wait for me at night and spy on me,examine me, shake me.

Que cada palabra lleve lo que dice.Que sea como el temblor que la sostiene.Que se mantenga como un latido.
No he de proferir adornada falsedad ni poner tintadudosa ni aadir brillos a lo que es.Esto me obliga a orme. Pero estamos aqu para decirverdad.Seamos reales.Quiero exactitudes aterradoras.Tiemblo cuando creo que me falsico. Debo llevar en
peso mis palabras. Me poseen tanto como yo a ellas.
Si no veo bien, dime t, t que me conoces, mimentira, selame la impostura, restrigame laestafa. Te lo agradecer, en serio. Enloquezco porcorresponderme.S mi ojo, esprame en la noche y divsame,escrtame, sacdeme.
