Let's make a Deal of Mario benedetti Poem

 Let's make a Deal

of Mario benedetti

Poem

Comrade, you know that you can count on me, not up to two or up to ten, but count on me.


If you ever notice that I look into your eyes and you recognize a streak of love in mine, do not alert your rifles or think that I am delusional despite the streak or perhaps because it exists, you can count on me.


If other times she finds me sullen for no reason, don't think how lazy she can still count on me.


But let's make a deal, I would like to count on you. It is so nice to know that you exist, one feels alive and when I say this I mean to count, even to two, even to five, not so that you rush to my aid, but to know for sure that you know you can count on me.

TE ATREVES A ENVIAR A TUS AMISTADES UN ABRAZO DE LUZ, COMO ESTOS, CON ESTA DELICADA ORACION.

 TE  ATREVES A ENVIAR A TUS AMISTADES UN ABRAZO DE LUZ,

 COMO ESTOS,

 CON ESTA DELICADA ORACION.









Gazelle of the Terrible Presence, by Federico García Lorca, POEM

 Gazelle of the Terrible Presence, 

by Federico García Lorca










I the water to run out of channel.


I want the wind to run out of valleys.


I want the night to run out of eyes

and my heart without the flower of gold.


Let the oxen speak with the great leaves


and that the earthworm dies of shade.


Let the skull's teeth shine

and the yellows flood the silk.


I can see the mourning of the wounded night

fighting coiled with noon.


I resist a sunset of green poison

and the broken arches where time suffers.


But don't show me your clean naked

like a black cactus open in the reeds.


Leave me in a craving for dark planets,

But don't show me your cool waist!
