but he has no say. 😉
I
After una noche de amor
I wake up to a mourning
feeling blue but a sax sings
Dexter Gordonishly
and helps me to live again..
I swing into the sun Cuba is;
I want to close my eyes
and my heart too and
I want to die but a girl
crosses my ways and so
I live again-
I always keep
a paperback
of the Canto General
by Neruda with me.
You never can tell,
to quote Chuck Berry-
A new day is dawning soon enough,
II
“A las tierras sin nombres …”
in order to get back
to my childhood traumata
and telling the way it was
to my future and always
endlessly curious lovers, let me
sing to the world and you
how I lost faith forever:
III
Soon I learned, sooner that I wished for,
how to Jazzify my sorrows
by buying booze and getting dizzy,
and get drowned in it,
as sure as next rain comes,
the rain of tears of your lovers.
IV
Hey, please, hold a sec:
In the United States of
my unknown American daddy,
in these imagined states
of my fantasy I dream
up new anecdotal stuff
to satisfy and please
my needs
and for desires I
will turn to you now,
…
V
So, I was out the other day
hitting the streets of
unfulfillable desires,
tipsily cakewalking
to the next Whiskey bar
to meet my shaky fate.
VI
Apart from nice gestures
like bowing down and
falling on my knees
for you, my love,
let my tongue
dance sweetly
and allow me to swoon
over you, prettiest
brown-eyed girl
I ever have met.
VII
Why not get ecstatic,
running amok in my mind
ever so tenderly
fishing for your smiles.
So cries your clown and slave:
If you would just be so nice enough
to listen to my prayers!
Can you not or do you
not want to care about me?
VIII
I entice you with the blue funk
my heart spills out for you, only you
as far as this night goes. Can you ask for more?
As the candle-lights of our dalliance burn down,
I extend my farewells to you:
There are other needy girls
to be satisfied by me.
