Cosmically Exhausted

Written by Gorka Lasa

Translated from the Spanish by the poet

Narrated by Bill Wolak

Panama

Exhausted from wandering the route of the cyclic night

timeless horizon which expands in endless swirls

eternity which awaits holding the illusory self.

 

Impossible duality

formless generator of fire storms

solar wind which wears off the barriers of my soul.

 

Exhausted from the vision which slowly fades away

dense fog of death over the square and its sphere.

 

Tears of blood germinate eternal poems in my hands

destined to get lost in the human abyss of indifference.

 

Deeply exhausted

my thoughts draw the shape of the essence

I walk lifelessly to the non-existent memory

again, wandering on the axis of the naught.

 

Recurrent, sullen, moody.

I won’t come back in the old dormant way

Cosmically exhausted.
