1 Ink

Over this ocean
luna sobre el mar y
beads
small orange beads
fish eggs stranded along the shore
estrellas
no brillan mas que un solo calamar
que no tinta

2

Roar of the takeoff
sitting over the engine
drowning out my need to pee
one light
one boat, one house, one
beacon of something I once forgot
on this sea of inkness

3

...lo que queremos
...lo que sabemos
Mira
...lo que no hacemos
...no tintamos

4

How can I write you into my life
where can I find that indelible ink
that will not wash from the heart
fade as my breath fades

5

Doing something on my own.
How long has it been
since I put ink into action?

6

Este es la vida
que queria
que no tenia
que no tintia

7

Calentate su tinta
escribile como un tatu
con este casinica me case yo

8

bajo una lampara escondida
la luz cae sobre los huesos encarnados
da luz a la esperanza
del alma congelada
de la sangre tintada
del falso amor
