Confession of a deranged man

user_382197751

oh darling, darling
it’s alarming
your beauty is multiplied
with each stride
away from you
i take, i tried
but it’s no use
you leave me senseless—
i’m tied,
rope around my ankle fastened to your fence

tus calles
estrechas y altas—
como el arco de tu cuello,
o tu espalda cuando—
laberínticas
me enredan en tu pelo, mujer
ese sentimiento cuando te miro
quiero ver el amanecer
contigo desde tus techos

estos putos transeúntes;
no te confundes,
les quiero matar.
A veces les suelto la navaja,
o les destrozo la cara
porque se paran a mirar.
Como pueden andar por tus calles
tan tranquilos?
como si no supieran qué somos? Amor

tus ruidos íntimos
por la noche y la mañana
cuando te tengo entre mis brazos
entre mis labios
y dientes
sangre, pero tu no
no huyes de lo oscuro
vive en tu sur
en la sombra del Sol

mujer, o ciudad, que te llamo?
nadie te quiere como yo
and no one knows me like you
no one’s seen all you’ve seen;
i’ve looked around and
few bodies fit like ours
as if someone drew you up just for me
answering some holy question
my beautiful heaven
back in 1857

  • Comment from author about the poem: this poem is a bit of a mess but I rly like it, especially the personification of the city (Madrid). sorry for the switching between languages but that's how it came out naturally
