The Ink On Milonga De Manuel Flores
One night while reading Borges
I saw extra ink on Milonga de Manuel Flores
Where did it come from, this stain?
Left of the first stanza, my thumb hid the vein
Upon reading the second stanza I discovered
The varicose ink near, "Manuel Flores va a morir," hovered
I have never finished the poem to this day
The ink distracts in maniacal way
I look at my hand in the dawning, "Miro en el alba mis manos"
I look at the veins contained there, "Miro en las manos las venas"
This is where I have forever stopped
Where the extra ink of Milonga de Manuel Flores dropped
I saw extra ink on Milonga de Manuel Flores
Where did it come from, this stain?
Left of the first stanza, my thumb hid the vein
Upon reading the second stanza I discovered
The varicose ink near, "Manuel Flores va a morir," hovered
I have never finished the poem to this day
The ink distracts in maniacal way
I look at my hand in the dawning, "Miro en el alba mis manos"
I look at the veins contained there, "Miro en las manos las venas"
This is where I have forever stopped
Where the extra ink of Milonga de Manuel Flores dropped
