The poetry of the untold

Posted on October 8, 2014 By adcitlali

        Almost forgotten   Waves hitting the corner of your eye    Words refusing to leave your muted lips    A touch you take for granted    Every day      Each morning         Thru the whole night          Ephemeral   Sounds silenced by the background noise by that noise –reminder of the relevant…

Real women don’t cry

Posted on September 9, 2014 By adcitlali

I feel incomplete     There is an empty space inside my skin     a void containing all pain         intangible without any light or colour I want to cry Be strong  –an echo with mom’s voice Tears only bring troubles You shed them too often I try           I…

Dimethyltryptamine: the utopian spiral

Posted on July 30, 2014 By adcitlali

Eyelids rest to the sharp vision of my eyes     You are there                              dressed in a black that turns purple     DMT flows freely     The firebird passes by A cloud of fine ashes surrounds us both you vanish     leaving a floating tear      (sad cheshire-cat’s grin) She falls…

Full stop

Posted on July 28, 2014 By adcitlali

In the absence of distractions    my own darkness fills this silence    Change is here again    Planned path / unknown outcome    A life to be –or not    Too much time    too many thoughts blinking in the dark    Arbitrary memories flash here and there   …

A memory and a woman

Posted on June 29, 2014 By adcitlali

  A memory of despair    when privacy was threatened    broken boundaries and a claim            –innocent invasion        liquid actions    intrusion on personal space          obsession    advances that won’t stop a  strong  woman losing  control a nervous girl helpless a victim scared _____Adriana Citlali XXIX-VI-MMXIV It is…

Where?

Posted on June 19, 2014 By adcitlali

  I want to be in the city someone forgot to build     right in the middle of dreams     where there is nothing to hide       A city fueled by a passionate sun    who writes temporal poems on afternoon clouds     A city at night covered by…

Not enough confusion

Posted on June 5, 2014 By adcitlali

Stillness and silence were all I could hope for   … Ancient words kept flying around. Right behind my forehead, chaotic phonemes forcibly formed foreign words. Hubo palabras huecas en idiomas conocidos. Dissonant sounds were known incongruent words in disguise. In between my ears, there was a constant resonance:         a noisy…

Where’s the respect?

Posted on December 1, 2013 By adcitlali

L:   Ohh! How I hate slush!       and those icy roads       threatening our contact R:   Her voice! Her voice complaining       that our touch is too smooth       Too slick for the season L:   Unbelievable!       Where is the respect?       When was style forgotten? R:   The bitch fell down        So what?        Everyone…

Silent voice

Posted on February 14, 2013 By adcitlali

Whispering thoughts What? Ethereal words and abstract meanings                         familiar sounds            Is it? ephemeral foam disturbing my ears Where? Behind my eyes between my front teeth              Is  my  voice? inside that old chrysalid No! I  miss         words those      galloping verses inside my head the colours and the oxymorons that…
