El día siguiente Renacerás en un instante, de un día para otro, aún si has fumado una media cajetilla y la panza ha crecido a causa de vinos crudos y pesados. La luz llegará siempre a los que quieren ver, y se sienten dispuestos a amar, a pesar de la mala racha, del torbellino. Va y viene, no circula ...
First Poems There are murders that defy poetry, challenge its song--I almost wrote to a duel—ask what business do you have with us in the church, in this memorial mass.

Alimentos, Huari ¿Quieres un kashki, o tomar un punki por la tarde, indagar en la tierra por las carnes de cerdo, res, gallina doradas en las piedras de la Pachamanca? Me quedo con ganas de caminar al borde de la laguna Puruhuay recogiendo porongos, corriendo como una gacela hacia el mirador para hacer contigo ahí lo que la primavera ...
Written on The WallWe are walking on water, Woman. Kamala, Lakshmi, Senator. With you and Joe we are going to go as far as the eye can see, as deep as the ear can hear. We are going to go beyond Mars, and plumb the depths of the heart. We are going to find the right step to cut ...
RevivalTo vote or not to vote, that is not the question or the dilemma. Mark a ballot for the candidate who wants to keep the ship floating or the other who wants to crash it, both supported by capital, my capital against yours, my ads versus your deep fakes. There are differences still between these two, not only their ...

Too MuchI don't think anyone has ever written a book about this,he tells me, tongue in jowl, but I suspend my disbeliefjust long enough falling completely before the jokethen smiling widely and on all sides of my faceand the subject. So, yes I am writing a book about love. I wrote before about a tsunami and an uncivil war. Now ...
