Baterista de Jazz (para Antonio Sanchez y Rolando P. Alarcon)
Oigo:
Alguien esta escuchandoJazz Drummer (for Antonio Sanchez and Rolando P. Alarcon)
I hear:
Somebody is listening* * * Virgilio oye free jazz
(para Hernan Aaron Remi)- Me dijo: Quien es Dios?
- Aquel craneo de jade
desollado
aquel sol desolado...- Pero es el dios del Ruido - protesto.
- Enciende los inciensos.
Saja la carne viva de humo
el saxofon:
la huella que se evade
esa!
es la Libertad
y sana necedadesVirgil hears free jazz
for Hernan Aaron Remi
- He said: Who's God?
- That flayed cranium of jade
That desolated sun . . .- But that is the god of Noise - he protested
- The saxophone lights up the incenses
Bleeds the living flesh of smoke
That!
the elusive footprint
is Freedom
and it heals blunders
