Ted Berrigan (EEUU, 1934 - 1983)

 

 

UNA LISTA DE LOS DELIRIOS DEL LOCO, DE QUÉ TIENEN MIEDO

 
 
De estar hambrientos.
De que su sangre se convierta en agua.
De despedir mal olor.
Ser pobres.
De estar en el infierno.
De ser instrumentos de otro poder.
De haber robado algo.
De haber cometido un pecado imperdonable.
Ser incapaces de vivir.
De que sustancias químicas malignas hayan impregnado el aire.
Padecer una enfermedad misteriosa.
De no recuperarse.
De que sus hijos estén ardiendo.
 
 
 


POSTAL DESDE EL CIELO

 
 
Enamorado de ella
lees mis poemas y te preguntas
qué ve en ti.

A LIST OF THE DELUSIONS OF THE INSANE, WHAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF

 

 
That they are starving.
That their blood has turned to water.
That they give off a bad smell.
Being poor.
That they are in hell.
That they are the tools of another power.
That they have stolen something.
That they have committed an unpardonable sin.
Being unfit to live.
That evil chemicals have entered the air.
Being ill with a mysterious disease.
That they will not recover.
That their children are burning.
 
 
 
 
 

POSTCARD FROM THES SKY

 
 
You in love with her
read my poems and wonder
what she sees in you
