emergency VIII

from its own snail
labyrinth of one street
where the unstoppable wind

where all colors resonate
finally orange we’re going to
screw with them all

he has illuminated a street light
another street light he says
he says i have

he has accepted whichever artificial breeze
he will explode like a star in the mind
of a boy like desire overflowing voice

we must work it out first
then interpret

Translated by Curtis Bauer
“emergency” is from Temperatura voz [Voice Temperature] (Barcelona, Pre-Textos, 2010).
