"Hormigas" by Ramón López Velarde

Antonio López Velarde


My only job is to post videos, but look at this lovely piece of poetry by Antonio López Velarde. To give you some context, he was in love with his female cousin, and his life became quite troublesome after she died.

A la cálida vida que transcurre canora
con garbo de mujer sin letras ni antifaces,
a la invicta belleza que salva y que enamora,
responde, en la embriaguez de la encantada hora,
un encono de hormigas en mis venas voraces.

Fustigan el desmán del perenne hormigueo
el pozo del silencio y el enjambre del ruido,
la harina rebanada como doble trofeo
en los fértiles bustos, el Infierno en que creo,
el estertor final y el preludio del nido.

Mas luego mis hormigas me negarán su abrazo
y han de huir de mis pobres y trabajados dedos
cual se olvida en la arena un gélido bagazo;
y tu boca, que es cifra de eróticos denuedos,
tu boca, que es mi rúbrica, mi manjar y mi adorno,
tu boca, en que la lengua vibra asomada al mundo
como réproba llama saliéndose de un horno,
en una turbia fecha de cierzo gemebundo
en que ronde la luna porque robarte quiera,
ha de oler a sudario y a hierba machacada,
a droga y a responso, a pabilo y a cera.

Antes de que deserten mis hormigas, Amada,
déjalas caminar camino de tu boca
a que apuren los viáticos del sanguinario fruto
que desde sarracenos oasis me provoca.

Antes de que tus labios mueran, para mi luto,
dámelos en el crítico umbral del cementerio
como perfume y pan y tósigo y cauterio.

Street art

STREET ART  Street art in Mexico always represents something of Mexican culture, in the image can be seen represented an Alebrije. This ones was created in 1936 by a cardboard man named Pedro Linares López, at 30 years of age. His inspiration came after getting sick and falling into a deep sleep, where he saw these creatures for the first time. During his illness, it is said that Pedro dreamed of a forest full of trees, rocks and animals, being very peaceful. Suddenly, those elements began to transform into strange creatures, like donkeys with wings, roosters with bull horns, lions with dog heads, and so on. And all those fantastic animals shouted a word in unison and every time stronger: alebrijes. If you want to read more about this story click here.
