MariahVenegas9: "...Maybe we'll meet face to face one day,
maybe our costumes we can take off.
And now I wonder... when that happens, if it happens,
Will I know how to sigh, will you know how to sigh?

poemakontsa: A small gem by Alfonsina Storni.
Little Man
Little man, little man
Free your canary; it wants to fly away.
I am the canary, little man,
Let me go.
(Tr. Dorothy Loo)
poemakontsa: Argentinian poets day.
The inimitable Alfonsina Storni.
Train
I am leaving my love... the train
moves slowly.
They shout my name. Who?
I abandon my face
To my arms and sob:
"Madly, onward,
Train, and have done with me!"
(Tr. Dorothy Loo)
poemakontsa: Argentinian poets day.
Alfonsina Storni reads the myth of Prometheus.
I Beseech Prometheus
Make room for me on your rock, Prometheus;
make me circle chained to its length; deliver it to the turning wheel of the whetstone
that crushes the stars of the night.
(Tr. D. Loo)

poemakontsa: Of all the poets who died by jumping into some body of water, the tragic ones at the cold Seine, Celan and Co, Alfonsina Storni in a cliff at Mar del Plata, I am often remiss to remember John Berryman, at the Washington avenue bridge between St. Paul and Minneapolis.
alexwh: My pean to an oustanding Argie poet
4f345: I'm going to sleep - Alfonsina Storni
Flower teeth, dew cap,
hands of herbs, you fine nurse,
lend me the earthy sheets
and the quilt of weeded mosses.
I'm going to sleep, my nurse, sleep me.
Put a lamp at my head;
a constellation; the one you like; 1/1
4f345: I'm going to sleep - Alfonsina Storni
they're all good; turn it down a bit.
Leave me alone: you hear the buds break...
a celestial foot cradles you from above 2/2
4f345: I'm going to sleep - Alfonsina Storni
and a bird traces a few bars for you
so you forget... Thank you. Oh, an order:
if he calls again on the phone
You tell him not to insist, that I've gone out... 3/3
4f345: Humility - Alfonsina Storni
I have been the one who walked proud
The fake gold of a few rhymes
On her back, and she thought she was glorious,
From optimal harvests.
Be patient, woman who is dark:
Someday the Destroyer Form
that devours everything,
It will erase my figure. 1/1
4f345: Humility - Alfonsina Storni
She will go down to my books, already yellow,
And lifting it on her fingers, cheeks
Slightly inflated, with a mode
From a great lord to whom everything bores him,
With a tired breath
He will throw me into oblivion.
ancestral weight 2/2
4f345: Humility - Alfonsina Storni
You told me: my father did not cry;
You told me: my grandfather did not cry;
The men of my race have not cried,
They were steel.
So saying you shed a tear
And she fell into my mouth ... more poison:
I have never drunk in another glass
So small. 3/3
4f345: Humility - Alfonsina Storni
Weak woman, poor woman who understands,
Pain of centuries I knew by drinking it:
Oh, my soul cannot bear
All the weight of her. 4/4
4f345: Peace-Alfonsina Storni
We go to the trees the dream
It will be done in us by celestial virtue.
We go to the trees; the night
We will be soft, light sadness.
We go to the trees, the soul
Numb with a wild perfume.
But keep quiet, don't speak, be pious;
Don't wake the sleeping birds
4f345: You, who will never be - Alfonsina Storni
Saturday was, and whim the kiss given,
male whim, bold and fine,
but the masculine whim was sweet
to this my heart, winged wolf.
It's not that I believe, I don't believe, if inclined
on my hands I felt you divine, 1/1
.
4f345: You, who will never be - Alfonsina Storni
and I got drunk. I understand that this wine
It's not for me, but he plays and rolls the dice.
I am that woman who lives alert,
you the tremendous man who wakes up 2/2
4f345: You, who will never be - Alfonsina Storni
you the tremendous man who wakes up
in a torrent that widens into a river,
and more he curls as he runs and trims.
Ah, I resist, but he has me all,
You, who will never be entirely mine 3/3
4f345: Complaint - Alfonsina Storni
Sir, my complaint is this,
You will understand me;
I'm dying of love
But I can't love.
I chase the perfect
In myself and in others,
I chase the perfect 1/1
4f345: Complaint - Alfonsina Storni
To be able to love.
I consume myself in my fire,
Lord, have mercy, have mercy!
I'm dying of love
But I can't love! 2/2
4f345: What would you say? - Alfonsina Storni
What would people say, clipped and empty,
If on a fortuitous day, by ultra-fantasy,
I dyed my hair silver and violet,
I will use Greek peplum, I will change the comb
By flower headband: miosotis or jasmine, 1/1
4f345: What would you say? - Alfonsina Storni
I will sing through the streets to the beat of violins,
Or say my verses touring the squares,
Freed my taste from vulgar gags? 2/2
4f345: What would you say? - Alfonsina Storni
Would they go look at me covering the sidewalks?
Would they burn me like sorceresses burned?
Would bells ring to call mass?
It actually makes me laugh a little to think about it. 3/3
4f345: Pain - Alfonsina Storni
I would like this divine October afternoon
walk along the distant shore of the sea;
that the golden sand, and the green waters,
and the pure skies saw me pass.
To be tall, arrogant, perfect, I would like,
like a Roman, to agree 1/1
4f345: Pain - Alfonsina Storni
With the big waves, and the dead rocks
and the wide beaches that surround the sea.
With the slow pace, and the cold eyes
and the mute mouth, let me go;
watch the blue waves break
against pimples and not blinking; 2/2
4f345: Pain - Alfonsina Storni
see how birds of prey eat each other
small fish and not wake up;
to think that the fragile boats could
sink into the waters and not sigh;
see that it advances, the throat in the air, 3/3
4f345: Pain - Alfonsina Storni
the most beautiful man, not wanting to love...
lose sight, distractedly,
lose her and never find her again:
and, upright figure, between sky and beach,
feel the perennial forgetfulness of the sea. 4/4

Alfonsina Storni (1892-1938)
Argentinean poet
Storni is widely considered as one of the finest Spanish language Vanguard poets.
Her work is often ironic and touches topics like loneliness in the modern urban life, love and mental health.
