The Present Sublime. Poem by Carlos Mijares Poyer / El presente sublime. Poema por Carlos Mijares Poyer

THE PRESENT SUBLIME


So many unsung stereotypes

as many as keys on a typewriter,

now the keyboard and chess piece of life

like no other

the smile of my mother

my father's eyes

and the tarot cards, the mysteries of my sister's 

sigh...

loud a siren's bell, the fire in the inner ear

like falling rosary beads in a white wet sink

forever speechless.

I reckon to applaud this slow sense of self

as common as the clown's conversation

behind the red suede curtains

now on fire... now on fire...
