MOON CHANT

Translated by: Alaric Gutiérrez.

A gust of wind and rumors
Hue harmonic perfumes,
Vetiver, coriander, kahve and saffron,
Crumbling the twilight dust.
Silence singing words
Bursting up
Depths of the sky.

My body invokes you
Under the Ankara fresh rain,
Fertile crescent
The spell of my lips;
Liquid light
Of shooting stars.
Horizontal waves
Moistens my edges
In the steppe plains
Of your gardens.

Even the moon is singing
Although no one notices it!

Dressed up in rainfalls
And kissing roots,
Sound waterfalls
Polishing stones
Upon your rivers’ wings.
Holding hands,
Piercing idyllic forests,
Dates and prunes
Are seeded wild,
Like impregnated
Fire water drops
On the green breeze
Of your gaze.

Undamaged yearnings
Rummage
the absence or presence
Of your breath.
Fragrant essence
Evokes the moss dance
In Turkish oak timbers.

Chimerical magma
Rises and falls,
The ottoman honeysuckle
Of your luminous pores
Opened up
To the furtive wrap
Of my nights.

HORIZON
© ALICIA MINJAREZ RAMÍREZ
Translated by: Alaric Gutiérrez

Silvery squawks
Inspiring wind
Sound smells
Weaving and evocating
Blue mythologies,
Illusory back and forth
Of time.

Neptune dilutes
The slow walk
Of topsails
Upon sand ridges
flooded by foam.

Brief controversy
Dancing the song
Of rocks.
Flowing cosmogonies
Hedgehog delirium
Beyond symbols.
Docile declining
Of waves,
Bastions of light
Refined by thorns.
Wounded sob exploding
Like a scream
Confining its destination
In the throat,
Earth’s helpless breath
Languishing forever,
Like wood
Permeating and transforming
The dilated ocean
Within yourself.

I state your name
Unknown for me
And learn
The burnt
Thick sunset,
Circumspect
Nautical rumor
Of distant essences,
Transfiguring
The horizon.

LOVERS
©Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
Translated by: Alaric Gutiérrez

Longing mitigates
the drunken night,
treasuring the imprint
abolished by desire
that breaks us
and brings together,
intrinsic fire
of profane verses
under the intrigue
of shadows.

Materiality keeps
our bodies tied up to
the lunar instant
of balsamic ether,
burning desires
falling apart
evaporating
the mossy seduction
of having the absolute void.

You’re dust in the breeze
of my conscious being,
bringing delightful
and melodic essences

inside hollow fruit trees
of worn out headings.
Imprecise and sharp legend
of upcoming evenings,
barking at the sap sight.

Derange me, seduce me, drive me.
Like a consonant plunging
upon the rhetorical memory,
dialect upsetting and chaining us up
beyond our hands.

Exhalation,
dementia without sanity
defining my earthly Nirvana,
meanwhile, I belong to you
under the remote
silence glass…
By rubbing
your timely
spike.
