ANNOTATIONS OF DAILY LIFE

Chet Baker

I started to listen to early eighties. We enjoyed those black moons revolving at 33 revolutions white nights by the flash of his melancholy voice, like our beer and snuff. The fine metal needle marked the day by dropping the leaves of the calendar, and we watched them grow, vague and lonely. We would not be us who would change the world, but usher in our own, composed of trees in a quiet park where we hid from the rough reality. At that time Time after time topics were heritage - and still are - the places that bautizábamos with the names of our lovers. I remember the death of Chet Baker. It was 1988, and were lying on a beach, far from the city then found out that his impression was torn version of My Funny Valentine, as he fell from an eighth floor in Amsterdam.

NOTES ON THE FACE OF A STAN GETZ DISC

Leaving the love like a plane crash

after wandering through lonely motels and beaches

where our footprints disappear after the tide;

days and days of swim

champagne and make love shouting waves. We

a rare species of animals who wrote sapphic



imperfect in their naked bodies.

So, we played to believe that the language dominábamos
dominábamos
as that moment. Today


treasure manuscripts jazz records, books and

flame that we would turn

as a layman who returns to his belief

and light the candles of a rusty chandelier. We left


love like a plane crash

without luggage or return tickets.

NOTHING MORE THAN THE TIME LOVE SOFT



Nothing but the mild weather of love;
concerns dissolved in
ocean and the silence of the sand on the beach.

touch and Matter breathing.
The damn rain that tries to erase our footprints.
some jazz music. Arena and flight.

VALDIVIA (Germain Arestizábal)



The 1 / 2 night, round about midnight-
James Dean goes on a Vespa and
Uma Thurman wields a Colt 38.
Someone says we're great and poetic
our nerve and open-necked shirts. Returning the river
,
home awaits us the unique singing of the birds, while Morgan
, like Pound, corrects
The old possum's book of cats by TS Eliot.
bells are heard a Catholic church and the market
river walk
Mapuche, Germans and locals.
There is a time to gather in the square
where all hope in love.

LEAK FOR BASS AND SAX

Walking, always walking
as he left for another part
with a backpack and plans illusions,
leaving the soldier muse
saliva dirty word.

We seem to her, the ink staining
papers, clutching something
farewell.
trying to disrupt the sense of the hours.
Maybe because nobody has gotten to know
and this is our triumph. Close

us, shut up and listen objects, pieces of moons
invented to seduce,
empty houses and no grass
in which we loved breaking locks.

Just as life, the party always somewhere else, perhaps in Edinburgh
, Valdivia Quintay or
but the flame is in our eyes

with us when we left

and forget that open pits
each day.

It is a virtuoso who can play as much as possible with a tenor sax." Emotional capacity to produce sound, suggestive ballads and creative and splendid in fast times, his art was influenced in the playing of Charlie Parker on one side - Bird's message struck a chord in Stan Getz, "and in relaxed and fluid ways of the saxophone of Lester Young.

poem author Note 3: The poems included here were written between 1998 2004. The theme is part of a writing project that goes back to the publication of River (1988) and has continued to be written in books such as: listening to a personal album (1992), Continuity of the trip (1994), A poet flight ( 1996), Impossible Songs (1998) and Country Insomnia (2000). All with a common thread. Its constants are the landscape, the city, coast, jazz and death. The log of the ambush, is the sum of that search. In its pages we find allusions to the beach and its surroundings, but as a metaphysical space where life comes together well. In addition, there is some dialogue with authors from other latitudes.

walk to the jazz of the sunsets
recalling some highlights
certain spasms
certain acts visionary
screaming his victories in the dark
