Regnum Horribile Ex Terra

Thanks for getting rid of Bush the Abominable
American states of planet Earth,
Always alien and sometimes implacable

Look at the funeral trail holding their breath
As terror crowds gather to share their joy
And in relief, weep and dance, is this birth?

Look at hope in pupils' zooms
And the ravaged state of mind
Reaching new heights and fresh moons.



We're still working on appearance, options, etc.
Thanks to everyone.
(Amparo Ouzman, co-editor of Poetry Life& Times).

NO VOLVERAN
No volverán nunca las golondrinas, amada mía
que nos vieron pasear por el camino
donde yo deambulaba, a la espera de un cuervo
que me dijera tu nombre, amada mía

Dónde estarás ahora y en qué lecho
despertarán tus tigres: de qué color el arrebato
de la aurora

cómo
caminarás sin mi ayuda sin sentirte perdida
amputada de mí,
tan lejana

y tan cerca sin embargo mi soplo
envolviendo tu dolor con mi palabra,
amada mía

para que el frío y no el cuchillo nos separen



-------------------

ACERCAME LA ESPUMA DE OTRA COPA

Acércame la espuma de otra copa
aléjame la noche y la esperanza
volverá a cercarme, como una cicatriz
esperando aquel beso:

Lejos de mí la piedra que te roza
y el ángel : ese crápula
que con su espada fálica penetra
en la última luz

Acércame la espuma de otra copa
embriágame de besos sin espera,
haz que avenga el deseo
tenaz como una sierpe silenciosa

Acércame la espuma de tu copa
---------

A poem response to "A Vessel On" by Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

JAQUE MATE



Words

No more no less

A game of chess

To go to partly dressed

Fish through mesh



Words

Signs of distress

You could go insane by reading the press

For better or worse

An urge to compress



Words

that cry fearless

or dance topless

Seamless sWORDS

Bloodless mess...









(by Amparo Arrospide. Her whole liability.

Katrina: The Forgotten Dead (A Hommage)

Themselves are nothing much... like flies without their wings

their humbleness... like you, but not exactly

Or so you'd like to believe, despairingly, hopelessly

Helplessly

You'd like to believe you're different from them

Who are nothing much, but torment others

And enjoy doing it.

"No animal comparison please" -- says every animal

Rational being,



You don't wash your hands. You build up awful commemorations,

Memorials, graves,

Los Pueblos...
en tiempos remotos y olvidados
construyeron sin lógica ninguna
Palacios para audaces con fortuna
y Cárceles para pobres desgraciados.

Thanks for the returning hello, better late than never, but we all know how busy we are, some more than others, as they want to beat their life candled as it's running off.

Fantastic interview with Sage Sweetwater and Finnur Bjarki in your December issue! Sage is one of the most dynamically creative and artistically responsible literary artists at work today. It's always a pleasure to read about her creative processes and projects.

Also enjoyed your selection of featured poets for the issue--particularly reading Tendai Mwanaka for the first time.

Few online ezines challenge assumptions and stimulate thought the way yours does. The December issue seems to be a very strong one and I look forward to enjoying it.

que you he deseado en mi vida,
