Jose de Diego Poem

EN LA BRECHA 

José de Diego

 

¡Ah desgraciado si el dolor te abate,
si el cansancio tus miembros entumece!
Haz como el árbol seco: reverdece
y como el germen enterrado: late.


Resurge, alienta, grita, anda, combate,
vibra, ondula, retruena, resplandece...
Haz como el río con la lluvia: ¡crece!
Y como el mar contra la roca: ¡bate!


De la tormenta al iracundo empuje,
no has de balar, como el cordero triste,
sino rugir, como la fiera ruge.


¡Levántate!, ¡revuélvete!, ¡resiste!
Haz como el toro acorralado: ¡muge!
O como el toro que no muge: ¡embiste!

Poem by Jack Agueros

Psalm for Missing Pork Chops (2006)

Lord,
The people are biting their poverty
With the gusto they used to apply
To cheap pork chops.
I know that pork chops are corrosive
And fattening and habit forming.
But Lord,
Everything is getting better for people
Who won't even notice it:
Conspicuous Consumption is emblazoned
On every store window, every automobile,
Every bank's vault, every newspaper ad. 

And me Lord,
All I want
Is to get a cheap Pork Chop
While I still have a few teeth.

Lord, I feel like praying -
Who is the Butcher Angel,
Who is the Angel of Impossible Pork Chop causes?
