-BRITTLE- POEM IN ENGLISH BY CARLOS MIJARES POYER.

BRITTLE

The Ice of the Sun,

on your back.

The river of trees speak

the fleas, yes, the fleas

call out death in life

and the soliloquy of the working-class stars

                               announces

 the atrocious circumstances 

of the circumstances

call of the last screaming sigh

life in one day;

and the swirl of the eye chiaroscuro

heard palpitating legs

like the color of oranges

of those dressed girls

in deceased ivory

to tell a regrettable fable in English

initiated the breaking of the drop

upon high brow and forehead distilled

and the rupture of the twin soul

hunched back and standing.
