Carlos Bedoya

I SECOND GUESS THE BLINKING

It is always eternity floating
in the dark
forever more
perpetual armor of a dream
inciting us to forget
while we drink like insomniac
madmen
smoking every other minute
in this bar
that amongst other complications
liberates
miserable drunken
miracles lapsus calami
without hope.

Alone
my body levitates
drowning among visions
avid for nothingness
asking for its turn to dance
to be shipwrecked anew.

ADIVINO EL PARPADEO

ADIVINO EL PARPADEO

Siempre es la eternidad flotando
a oscuras
hasta nunca jamás
coraza perpetua de un sueño
incitando a olvidar
mientras bebemos como locos
insomnes
fumando a cada rato
en este bar
que entre otros vericuetos
libera
miserables milagros
ebrios lapsus calami
sin esperanza.

A solas
mi cuerpo levita
ahogándose entre visiones
ávido de nada
pidiendo pista para naufragar
de nuevo.
