Después (1944) « Poesía de gotán: The Poetry of... →
My favorite poet, Homero Manzi.
“A shadow stronger than death,
a scream lost in oblivion,
a step that comes back from ruin
a song torn to pieces
that still remains a song.
Afterwards…
forgetting will come or it won’t come
and I will lie so that I can laugh
and I will lie so that I can cry.”

You're Either A Poet Or You're Dead: Thy fingers... →
twicedailypoetry:
Thy fingers make early flowers of all things. thy hair mostly the hours love: a smoothness which sings,saying (though love be a day) do not fear,we will go amaying. thy whitest feet crisply are straying. Always thy moist eyes are at kisses playing, whose strangeness much says;singing (though love be a day) for which girl art thou flowers bringing? To be thy lips is a sweet...
Crashingly Beautiful: To Take a Step Without Feet →
crashinglybeautiful:
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First, to let go of live. In the end, to take a step without feet. To regard this world as invisible, and to disregard what appears to the self. Heart, I said, what a gift it has been to enter this circle of…

沒翅膀的我: 大潮落處 →
美國政府給世界看見的政治表現是低俗的 Soft Corruption, 一旦當選國會議員, 你每日忙著的只是疏通商界利益, 幫大財團游說政策, 為了討好選民犧牲國家的長遠利益. 而議員自身則奇怪地腰纏萬貫.

How Argentine my tango is
“While it is a dance of the people and for the people, it has a level of difficulty that must be reckoned with. There is a structure of the dance from whence improvisation is created. There is a learning curve and a developmental curve that comes from putting in hours that lead to weeks that lead to years of taking classes and dancing socially.”...

Awake
How can people quit tango? I mean how can you quit being caressed? How can you quit being held like no one else matters on earth? How? How can you quit the need of physical touch, connection, friction, pleasure, warmth or whatsoever. I just want to know how can a human being quit tango?
There are times the thrill appears to be gone, for good. There are times the magic appear to have never...

"BARRO" by Osvaldo Pugliese on "La Yumba" -... →
BARRO, Osvaldo Pugliese
You know what it feels dancing to Pugliese? You feel your body are too weak for the compression and the velocity. You feel your desire and need to be yourself are too strong to be ignored. It gets you on so quick you can’t think straight in a few seconds. On the day you are not fit enough, you are almost swept away by the man holding you in his arms. He is...
