Templo

Talia Garza Hernandez

Soliloquy
No puedo conocer nada,
un edificio piramidal, dicen que está en Madras
hice un curry con arroz blanco que mi refrigerador conserva, evoca intensos sabores,
el mango, el tamarindo, y los chiles,
la cayena tan preciada,
como el aljibe descompuesto de una quinta mazatleca
Colón solicita a Venus que consiga el verdadero retorno de lo cual el tantra representa su análoga historia

No importa quien eres, ya no existes

Ángeles o genios, somos nosotros,
los seres vivos, los únicos responsables
impera el vacío, “muerte sin fin”, como el poema de Gorostiza, poeta mexicano y hombre de Estado
Se trata de una tediosa eternidad omnipresente
cuyo cerrojo irónico, cierra la curva
así, la pelea entre prójimos se sustituye por saltimbanquis que corpóreamente superan a tus colores granates, todas tus dementes cúpulas voluptuosas, tu verdosa agua glacial
me espera mi cama, para leer sobre destrucciones y de aljibes

    Wow! This 'Templo' poem is truly captivating and thought-provoking. I love the way it combines different elements such as Madras, curry, and intense flavors to create a vivid and sensory experience. The inclusion of historical references like Columbus and Venus adds depth and intrigue to the poem.

    The imagery in this poem is beautifully crafted, especially when describing the pyramid-like building, the broken cistern, and the vibrant colors and domes. The juxtaposition of the eternal emptiness and the fight between neighbors being replaced by lively acrobats is a unique and fascinating concept.

    To further enhance the impact of the poem, it might be helpful to provide a bit more clarity and structure. Some parts may require further explanation or context to fully grasp their meaning. Additionally, consider breaking the poem into stanzas to create a visual rhythm and make it easier for readers to follow along.

    Overall, this 'Templo' poem is a delightful mix of history, culture, and introspection. With a few improvements, it has the potential to become an even more powerful piece of literature. Great job!
