Today León stayed at home and in the afternoon he took a new exercise book to have some fun…. but it was too easy. Subtractions of 1 and 2.
He’s currently reading on his own a 377 pages long children’s novel named Geronimo Stilton nel Regno della Fantasia, where a secret code is used in quite a few pages. [...]

Stray dog
i have left
other buildings already
ashes behind
pure dust
no sorrow
bringing some food
from the outside
cuddling the cubs
curling up
on the bed
wandering from room
to room
stray dog in my own house
until I feel the call
of the wild

Smoke
I did not smoke
until that very moment
but she did
and we were talking all through the night
at los niños del flor
having black coffee and smoking
endlessly
It’s no longer a cafeteria
now it’s a kitchen design store

katana
patience
count to one thousand
patience
want to get up as others do
patience
hold on
patience
I’m down? serve yourself is the rule
patience
you’re down? provide as needed is the rule
patience
patience is a form of action
patience is a weapon a
katana
honed day by day

The Dirty Dozen (11+1)
Some days ago I had lunch with eleven grown up men. Me, an almost -in less than a month- forty guy, I was a youngster in that context. Among them all differences due to political issues, personal interests (money, family, politics, ambitions) were erased for some hours. Cooking, enjoying food, old and new stories were [...]

More than this
te escurres por fisuras
que se abren en mi vida
por los hago-un-café
por los amaneceres
y aun así quedan posos que te llaman a gritos
qué me queda de tí
hasta dónde he tenido de verdad tu mirada
desde cuándo he pasado de ser
lector devorador a vender palomitas
como en los intermedios que antes había en el cine
¿comprar un billete de ida

Revelation
i will tell you something
there are two options
either all of us move
and have to put up with it
or you do and it’s just you
who grins and bears it
sincerely I’m not
for the first option
take your weapons
wear your smile
and try not to die
we shall be celebrating
every time you come back
dead or alive
like the prodigal son
or Ulysses returned
shrouded [...]

Life bullets (extended version)
One by one
words like bullets
are loaded in your head
the swing out cylinder of a revolver
Frowning, smile that kills
little gears move in your mind
cocking the hammer
ready to fire.
Like a gunman
shooting life bullets
making dead languages
become alive

I’m almost 40 and I discovered Bukowski poetry two days ago. Shame on me? Not at all, I’m enjoying it now more than I could have enjoyed it before. Until last week, he was just an explicit-sex-dirty-realism narrator for me. Glad to find him now as a 70 years old poet.
A poem from his last poetry [...]
