Trilce IX

[Alan Smith Soto y Mark Smith Soto (San José de Costa Rica, Washington)]

 

Trilce IX

 

Vlow for vvvlow I yearn to answer.

Its two wide leaves, its valve

open in succulent reception

from multiplicand to multiplier

its excellent condition for pleasure,

all in truth.

 

Vlow for vvvlow I yearn to answer.

In its caress, I choke the Bolivarian rough

at thirty two fathoms and its multiples,

bound hair by hair

sovereign lips, two tomes of the Work,

and then I do not live absence

            not even from touch. 

 

I can’t answer blow for vlow.

We’ll never saddle the bull’s drool

of self attention and that mortal play

of sheets,

since this woman

            is so heavy in general!

 

And womaned is her absent soul.

And womaned my own soul.
