EN EL VIEJO PHILLIPUS
tarnished in the mirror, rehearsing in silence
the narrow path, and words
when
reasons and do not burn your mouth.
Why?
Who?
barely a gasp.
the night like a river bends.
The wet knife scraping
moon darkness. Writing faceless
death.
The thick haze of blood. Saturated
hope,
Phillipus of Arimathea
emerges from a broken dream
without collapsing yet, as a funeral
acrobat
the more fragile the heart strings, and only
which vibrate to the bitter death rattle.
Man, according Phillipus,
is a nihilistic thought in the mind of God.
2
SIEGA each image. Language
Make your own gallows. Ascend
heavily its steps.
Be the executioner. Suddenly canceled the performance.
3
IN VAIN HE FOUGHT AGAINST TOUGH INSOMNIA
my death.
Life is a shadow assembly
who immolate themselves to each other.
4 Which of all my loves
I will have to bribe to death?
Meat
plot and plots from the depths: phlegm,
the crowded clump of fat,
the fury of dust back to dust.
Which of all my rust
am I to oxidize the scythe?
5
faceless VA REMAINING MEMBERS.
The hills of my body is cold.
My faltering voice sinks in the swamp
heart of God.
SELECTION, COMMENTS AND NOTES
By Leo Lobos - Francisco Vejar
poem editing Note 1: "Man of the technological age is par excellence a makeup artist's death. His efforts to disguise it unfold even before the death itself, in seeking to delay the signs of irreversible physical decline than advertised. So my sarabande is a dance of death according to the old tradition of morality plays of Juan de Pedraza Segovia and the Escorial manuscripts anonymous, a bet against the game provocative distraction of an era that has been sought by all means numb the horror before the expiration of the human condition. "He says Armando Roa Vial 4ta.Capa in his book of poems Zarabanda Dark Death , second edition revised and final. Printed and bound in Santiago de Chile in November 2006, with cover design by Sandra Accatino, Paulina Correa and review by the editor layout Edmundo Rojas and published under your imprint Beuvedráis Publishers.
poem editing Note 2: Armando Roa Vial (Santiago de Chile, 1966). His literary work includes fiction, essays, poetry and translation. In poetry published paper Man and Other Poems , The Apocalypse of the Word / The Mute said , Zarabanda Dark Death (2000, awarded the National Prize awarded by the Critics Circle Art), breaks to honor Gregory Samsa and Hotel Celine among others. He has translated poetry of Robert Browning selected, the early poetry of Ezra Pound, Shakespeare's Macbeth and also the ninth-century Anglo chose the Navigator. Test is also author of In Praise of Melancholy , the volume of stories To avoid dying so slowly and anthologies of Ezra Pound. Tribute from Chile , coauthored by Armando Uribe, and Chile's invention, coauthored with Jorge Teillier among others. The year 2002 was awarded the Pablo Neruda Prize .
poem editing Note 3: On his influences Armando Roa says: "The enumeration may be multiple. There are authors I have translated and who always come back, as Ezra Pound, Keats and Robert Browning Swimburne; certain provocative and stimulating as reading Dostoevsky, Hölderlin, San Augustine, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Celan, Schopenhauer or Thomas Bernhard. And when is to turn to other non-verbal languages, perhaps because what we are looking beyond the narrow limits of the word, always appeal to the music, which seems to start where the word ends, giving way to superhuman dimensions, numinous, almost ineffable, and for that matter, overwhelming. Without going any further, in several of the poems of my text "Apocalypse of the Word / The Mute said," a rhythmic pattern test that tries to approximate the system of the series of twelve notes of the chromatic scale devised by the Austrian composer Anton Webern. "
poem editing Note 4: The itinerary of my writing - Armando says Roa Vial - has always been my reading log. I believe in literature "ecumenical" allusion, in the Cento joyful and pooled. In this game specular echoes, quotations and dialogues, the reader may recognize-than-explicit references to my various masks invited Zarabanda: Rene Char, Octavio Paz, Olga Orozco, Helmut Swinburne, Alfred Tennyson, GM Hopkins, Edward Cummings, TS Eliot, Charles Baudelaire, Jose Angel Valente, Juan Luis Panero, Carlos Marzal, Gottfried Benn, Emil Cioran, Jorge Luis Borges and Cesar Vallejo.
poem editing Note 5: The Latin titles Sarcophaga Tenebris carnaria Ipneus and of Zarabanda Dark Death refer to the forensic medical classification of the developmental stages of the body in the process of decomposition. Pavana Lachrimae quartet is based in Los Angeles Negros , the American composer George Crumb. Phillipus of Arimathea is the reverse of Joseph of Arimathea, and Julius is a reply to Sordello Sordello of Mantua, immortalized by the poet Robert Browning.
