against poetry

By espacioreal | elespacioreal | 10 Feb 2021


against poetry that says nothing
the poetry that says less

against the poet on duty
the poet who never opens

against the pastoral of apostolic poetry
The River Plate Church of Tibetan Lyric

to the scaffold the poet who smells of thyme
forgiven the poet who smells like zebra

on the pike the head of the anthropomorphic poet
on banknotes the head of the deranged poet

against the poetry of myth against literary poetry
supermarket poetry public toilet poetry

against poetry that doesn't say a word too much
the poetry that doesn't say a word of less

for a gluten-free poetry
a garden poetry at home

against the old metaphors of the future
the new metaphors of the past

against the poetry of the closed room
the poetry of the open house

because our lives are going away in vain explanations
We state with simplicity -and indifference- this definitive couplet:

down the stage the epigones of Horacio
in the pulpit the apostles of Marcial
