Dofí

Sí, m'acompanyen dofins de present

sentit de foc, i a les ones turquesa

esmaperdut, jo mateix si de flama,

cresta escumosa, salto com cetaci;

duna d'arena, canvio les ombres

segons el riure del còsmic diví.

La pirula

Ja massa vella i marcada de tinta

fosca, sortosa o artista d'enganys

magnètics, em demana cada dia

més risc, l'interventor, la policia.

I no en té prou amb l'honrosíssim salt

de qui comença a colar-se amb felina

agilitat, quan el cos li demana

emocions, menyspreant l'enganxina

neta—l'enginy del pirulaire digne

que només vol que acabi bé el viatge.

Eddy

I’ve seen you

As a blue-lavender flower

Floating placidly

In an ancient eddy

Of spring runoff.

My benevolent, mossy roots surrounding

Your strength in beauty,

Our untold happiness of old,

Creating a circle of serene love,

Of wild growth,

Sunlight patches stroking

The subtle ripples

In everlasting motion.

This corner of the world

Belonged to us, long gone,

Recovered now, recognized.

Oh love through the ages,

Quiet flowing, peaceful

Joy in the meandering waves,

Let us sing and dance once more

Like we did when the world was unripe!

Laser

You pick a path, and suddenly, the choices

You held congeal into a moving ray

Determined by each point in space

Preceding its motion, eternally random

And gracious. This forward impulse

Becomes then its own reason, but really,

Only by looking back a pattern emerges

Out of the sweetly discrete stillness.

So the movement becomes meaning,

Unknowingly, unavoidably,

For how can we dare to stop for a second

And stare at the beauty all around us

When there's so much yet to accomplish?

But then, this goal-oriented approach

Only sort of makes sense when you take a sudden

Snapshot of it and declare it your happiness.

Or does it? In reality, the only bliss we can claim

Is that of this very instant, the moment of creation itself.

By then the moving laser is gone, piercing

The very fabric of our constant thoughts,

Unstoppable, freezing and sentient

As a bursting fountain of indomitable chaos.
